Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon mixed dried herbs
  • 3 cups washed baby spinach leaves
  • 3/4 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • 1/2 cup blackberries
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/8 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/4 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • To make the vinaigrette, place the vinegar, mustard, herbs, and a pinch of salt and pepper into a small bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Slowly pour the olive oil into the vinegar mixture in a steady stream while whisking to emulsify the dressing. You can add a bit of honey if you'd like some sweetness in the dressing. Set aside while you're making the salad.
  • To assemble the salad, put the spinach in a large bowl.
  • Place the quinoa in the center of the bowl on top of the spinach.
  • Scatter the berries, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds over the spinach and quinoa.
  • Sprinkle the gorgonzola cheese over the salad.
  • Dress the salad with the vinaigrette and serve.
