RECIPE: Blackberry, Avocado & Arugula Salad
This Blackberry, Avocado & Arugula Salad is the perfect balance of flavors for warm weather dining. Peppery arugula forms the base, topped with juicy blackberries, creamy avocado, and tangy crumbles of goat cheese. A drizzle of balsamic adds just the right hint of sweetness, while a touch of sea salt and freshly cracked pepper ties everything together. Every bite is light but satisfying, making it a fresh alternative to heavier summer dishes.
On a sunny patio, this salad becomes more than a meal—it’s a refreshing way to beat the heat. The hydrating blackberries, healthy fats from avocado, and nutrient-dense greens help keep energy steady without weighing you down. Paired with a chilled glass of sparkling water or iced tea, it’s a vibrant, feel-good plate that invites you to slow down, enjoy the season, and savor good food outdoors.
