How to Make Very Berry Luscious Salad

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans on a baking sheet and toast for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for vegans), 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon, and the zest of 1/2 lemon. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a blender, combine the cooled honey-vinegar mixture (reserving 1 tablespoon), 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or vegan yogurt), and 1 tablespoon lemon zest. Blend until smooth.
  5. In a small bowl, gently combine the toasted nuts with the reserved 1 tablespoon of honey-vinegar mixture and a pinch of salt.
  6. Pour the blended yogurt mixture into a bowl and gently fold in the remaining 1/2 cup of yogurt.
  7. In a separate bowl, gently toss 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.) with the nut mixture.
  8. Pour the honey-yogurt dressing over the berries and nuts, gently tossing to combine.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  10. Serve chilled. Garnish with a fresh sprig of tarragon, a whole strawberry, and an optional drizzle of honey.
