  • 1 cup blackberries
  • ¾ cup blueberries
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1½ cups cucumber, thinly sliced
  • ⅓ cup feta cheese
  • ⅓ cup toasted hazelnuts

For the Vinaigrette:

  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or other liquid sweetener)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint, finely chopped
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, maple syrup, chopped mint, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  2. Assemble the Salad:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine arugula, blackberries, blueberries, cucumber, avocado, feta cheese, and toasted hazelnuts.
  3. Dress the Salad:

Notes
