Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh baby spinach, thoroughly washed and dried

1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), sliced if large

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese for a creamy element

1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted for extra crunch

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced for a mild bite

1 ripe avocado, diced to add richness

1/2 cup balsamic vinaigrette (store-bought or homemade for a personal touch)

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional, but adds a refreshing note)

Salt and pepper to taste, to enhance flavors

Instructions
 

Prepare the Greens: In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh baby spinach and thinly sliced red onion. Toss them together gently to ensure the onion is evenly distributed throughout the spinach.

    Add the Berries: Evenly sprinkle the mixed berries over the spinach and onion mixture. Be careful while doing this to prevent squashing the delicate berries.

      Incorporate the Cheese and Nuts: Add the crumbled feta cheese and the toasted sliced almonds on top of the salad. The feta will contribute a creamy texture and tanginess, while the almonds will provide a satisfying crunch.

        Fold in the Avocado: Carefully fold the diced avocado into the salad mixture, taking care not to mash any of the pieces.

          Dress the Salad: Lightly drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the assembled salad. Start with a modest amount, toss the salad gently, and add more dressing as needed based on your taste preference.

            Season: Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste, then give the salad another gentle toss to combine all the flavors beautifully.

              Garnish and Serve: Transfer the vibrant salad to a serving platter or divide it into individual bowls. If desired, garnish with fresh mint leaves for a burst of color and a hint of minty freshness. Serve immediately to enjoy the salad's optimal texture and flavor.
