    For me, Summer is the time for salads - big healthy salads with a lot of fruit and veggies. This is one of those salads that I have been enjoying this Summer.

    I eat this for lunch on most days. Even though I've written it up as two servings, I like to eat the whole thing. There's nothing better than a big hearty healthy salad on a hot Summer day.

    It has a balance of textures and flavors. Switch up your salad repertoire with this vegan salad. It's a hearty meal - perfect for brown bagging it to work or an easy weeknight dinner.

    A salad dressing to try is my Tahini Dressing recipe. Some other salads to try are my Vegan Chipotle Salad and Vegan Thai Salad with Peanut Dressing.

    Other avocado recipes to try are my Vegan Avocado Pesto Grilled Cheese and Vegan Avocado Pesto Potato Salad.

    ❤️ Why You'll Love It

    • It is fresh, healthy, and flavorful.
    • It is customizable. Add your favorite fresh fruit, nuts, and seeds.
    • It is made in minutes. Eat it for lunch or as a side dish for dinner.

    🧾 Ingredients

    Salad ingredients on a cutting board with labels.
    • Herb salad mix or spring mix: I like a salad mix with herbs because it adds extra flavor, but you could use any salad mix you like.
    • Avocado: Adds a creamy texture.
    • Strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries: You can use any combination of fresh berries you like.
    • English cucumber: Adds crunch. You could use another veggie.
    • Red onion: You could use green onions, a yellow onion, or white onion.
    • Hemp seeds: Add protein. You could substitute another seed or use nuts. You could also use my Tamari Sunflower Seeds recipe.
    • Dill: Adds a fresh citrus flavor.
    • Turmeric tahini dressing: Adds a peppery nutty flavor.

    Step 3: Add herb salad mix to a bowl. Top with sliced strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, chopped avocado, cucumber, red onion, hemp seeds, and dill. Toss and serve with dressing.

    💭 Tips

    • Taste the dressing as you go. You may want more or less of an ingredient than listed. I've been making this dressing recently with more turmeric to get the health benefits of it. Turmeric has a strong flavor, so start with the amount listed and add more if desired.
    • The dressing thickens after being in the fridge. Add more water as needed.
    • Making this salad right before you eat it is best, but you can make it a day or two before. Don't add the avocado or dressing until you're going to eat it.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Recipe FAQs

    How do you add protein to a salad without meat?

    You can add nuts, seeds, beans, or tofu. For this avocado and berry salad, I added hemp seeds.

    Ingredients

    • 4 cups herb salad mix (or spring mix)
    • 1 cup sliced strawberries
    • ¼ cup raspberries
    • ¼ cup blueberries

    • 2 tablespoons chopped dill
    • 4 tablespoons turmeric tahini dressing

    Instructions

    • Add all ingredients to a bowl and toss. Serve with turmeric tahini dressing.

    Notes

    The dressing will last for about a week in an airtight container in the fridge. It will thicken up in the fridge.
