I wanted something light and fresh today and I'm trying to eat more salads, so this was great! The tofu feta was so good...I was a little unsure haha. I made the tofu and salad recipe but I did use store-bought balsamic dressing since I had it on hand.

Yummy and easy! It can be hard to find a salad that tastes great AND is quick to throw together, so this salad is a win. Making the tofu feta is super easy, and if you make it first you have time to let it marinate while you clean and chop up all the other ingredients. I like to eat a big portion so I usually double the dressing amount. My tip to others would be to make sure your tofu isn't too wet! Press as much liquid out of it as you can to be able to get that feta texture :)

Another winner! We added a little lemon juice to the dressing and some vegan bacon as an optional topping and the whole family loved it. I really appreciate being able to play roulette with this website and making whatever comes up, knowing it’ll be delicious. This salad is a definite “make again” for my crew!

Loved this salad!!  I added arugula so the greens were half spinach and half arugula.  I think that adds a zippy peppery taste that I love.  I highly recommend any salad recipe on this site,  and the dressings are the best!!!

This Blueberry Spinach Salad is the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and crunchy. Juicy blueberries and creamy feta add layers of flavor, while thinly sliced red onion gives it a subtle bite. Tossed in a light vinaigrette, this fresh salad is easy to make and perfect for any occasion!

baby spinach

blueberries

red onion, thinly sliced

feta cheese

walnuts

White balsamic dressing

Just before serving: to a large bowl, add the spinach, fresh blueberries, onion, feta cheese, and chopped walnuts (if using).

Gently toss to combine, add salad dressing, and toss again. Serve immediately. Note: if storing for later, keep the salad in the refrigerator and add the walnuts and dressing just before serving, as the walnuts will soften up if refrigerated and the dressing will wilt the spinach.
