Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a blender, add olive oil, balsamic vinegar, fresh blueberries, and a dash of salt and pepper. If using a sweetener, add that too. Blend until smooth, but pulse a few times to maintain some blueberry chunks for texture.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add spring mix greens, sprinkle in fresh blueberries and chopped walnuts. Crumble goat cheese on top. Gently toss to combine without crushing the greens.
  3. Just before serving, pour dressing over salad and gently toss to ensure all ingredients are lightly coated.
  4. Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual bowls and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Keep the dressing separate until serving to maintain the freshness and crunch of the salad. Let goat cheese sit at room temperature before crumbling for better texture.
