I enjoy putting a summery spin on my go-to recipe for spinach salad to include fresh berries in a dinner.

Around here, salads are a year-round staple, but they’re much more common in the summer, and this gorgeous spinach salad recipe is unquestionably one of my faves!

Loaded with delectable summer berries and roasted nuts for a touch of richness, tender fresh baby spinach. And cheese, of course, since almost every dish requires a small amount of cheese.

The saltiness of the feta and goat cheeses is a wonderful complement to the sweet berries in this salad.

With a bowl of fruit and nut spinach salad and a bottle of Marzetti balsamic dressing, there is also a garnish of berries and nuts.

Since there are so much gorgeous, fresh summer produces in this salad, I wanted a dressing that would allow the vegetables to shine. The easy, tasty, and somewhat zingy Marzetti® Simply Dressed® Balsamic Salad Dressing is the ideal pairing for this salad.

The Marzetti® Simply Dressed® Balsamic Salad Dressing contains the same straightforward, natural ingredients as a salad. Simply Dressed® dressings can be found near the chilled fruit.

While this salad is the ideal side dish for a summer lunch, you can also add grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a full entrée.

Although I’ve added a selection of my favorite berries, this salad is also fantastic with grapes, freshly pitted cherries, and even thinly sliced ripe peaches.
