This recipe is colorful and bursting with flavor! The salad features an array of vibrant and nutrient-rich berries, such as strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Berries are known for their high levels of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, making them a valuable addition to any diet.

The star of this recipe is the homemade raspberry vinaigrette. By making your own dressing, you have control over the ingredients, ensuring it is vegan and free from any unwanted additives or preservatives. The tangy and slightly sweet flavors of the vinaigrette complement the berries perfectly, tying the entire salad together.

Tip: Make this in late Spring/Early summer so that you can use fresh, seasonal berries. It makes all the difference!
