This Blueberry Walnut Salad combines sweet, juicy blueberries with crunchy walnuts and creamy feta, creating a delightful mix of flavors and textures. The mild greens and refreshing cucumber balance the richness of feta, while the balsamic dressing adds a tangy finish. It’s an easy-to-make salad that’s both visually appealing and delicious.

For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

  • 100 grams fresh blueberries
  • 50 grams mixed greens (such as arugula, spinach, and romaine)
  • 30 grams toasted and roughly chopped walnuts
  • 50 grams crumbled feta cheese
  • 30 grams thinly sliced cucumber
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Procedure:

  • In a large bowl, add the mixed greens, blueberries, and sliced cucumber.
  • Sprinkle the walnuts and crumbled feta cheese over the salad.
  • Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  • Gently toss the ingredients until well mixed. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors.

Nutritional Benefits:

  • Blueberries are packed with antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which support heart health, reduce inflammation, and promote healthy skin.
  • Walnuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, known to improve brain health, reduce cholesterol, and support overall cardiovascular function. Feta cheese adds protein and calcium, essential for muscle and bone health.
  • Mixed greens contribute fiber, vitamins A, C, and K, which aid in immunity, vision, and blood clotting. The combination of olive oil and balsamic vinegar provides healthy fats and a small boost in antioxidants. This salad is a nutrient-dense option, ideal for promoting heart and brain health while adding essential vitamins and minerals to your diet.
