Spinach Blackberry Salad with Lemon Poppyseed Dressing – A delicious and nutritious blend of power greens, sweet blackberries, and almonds tossed in a lemon poppyseed dressing!

Spinach Salad with Blackberries and Nuts

This Spinach Blackberry Salad is truly delicious, healthy, and prepared in just minutes! The BEST sweet lemon poppyseed dressing over fresh berries and pecans sitting atop a bed of spinach. 

I am a snacker. I may have mentioned this tidbit about me here and there, but for reals, I can snack all day and go through the day without an actual meal. Pass me the Wonderful Almonds and leave me alone with ’em… Then, see what happens in 5 minutes.

Thus, when our days are filled with outside play, tanning, or just jumping in the pool, my snack obsession is ON! And it’s totally A-OK because who brings a meal to the pool?! Right. Not me.

But, you know what’s totally cool? I don’t do junk snacks. No siree! I am a fruits and nuts girl. That’s why when we go to the beach, or to the pool, I just lug a beach bag filled with some of my favorites, such as everything Wonderful Brands has to offer – Wonderful Pistachios, Wonderful Almond Accents, and of course that incredible POM Wonderful Juice!

Wonderful Brands is the fastest-growing brand in America’s produce aisles and it has become a trusted household name for delicious nuts and fruits – from pistachios to pomegranates. Did you know that 30 Wonderful Pistachios are only 100 calories?! That makes Wonderful Pistachios a delicious, smart snack, and a nutrient-rich alternative to “junk” snacks.

Lemon Poppyseed Dressing

Also, those Wonderful Almond Accents are SO! GOOD! I have not had a salad without them in the past 2 or 3 months. I add them to every salad that I make, including this Spinach Blackberry Salad topped with a handful of the Sweet Roasted Pomegranate Almond Accents and a drizzle of Lemon Poppyseed Dressing. Amazing!

To add, just an FYI, for those of you who are watching your calories or are conscious about sodium, switching from seasoned croutons to flavorful Wonderful Almond Accents is a pretty good option. AND at 40 calories per serving, I usually double up and make it a Saladbration!

Spinach Salad with Blackberries

Wanna have a Saladbration of your own?! It must be your lucky day because now you can! MAKE THY SALAD! You will love this fantastic Spinach Blackberry Salad with Lemon Poppyseed Dressing. 

    ENJOY!

      Good for you for not snacking on junk food! I’ve just recently learned to love walnuts and their mine favorite to go snack!

      MMM!!! Love that salad!!! When I was younger I didn’t really like salads, but now I find myself turning to them in place of meat dishes. But, I LOVE adding nuts and “goodies” to them.
      Favorite snack?? I’d love to say raw veggies, but really my favorite would be chips and guacamole!

    4. My favorite snack ranges from cottage cheese and yogurt or nuts and dried natural mango or fresh fruit. A snack especially in the summer months would be frozen fruit pop or ice cream.

    5. I love to snack on pretzels and chips with dip or peanuts and almonds. You know the stuff that’s not good for you. Except the nuts, of course.

    6. My favorite snack is bread with blueberry jelly! or fruit. And the salad looks great!

    7. This salad looks like a great healthy meal or side for summer. I just love blackberries!!! And I’ve been snacking on wonderful nuts at work for weeks. 🙂 Delicious!!!

    8. My favorite snack is unshelled nuts. Having to shell them slows me down and helps limit the portion.

    9. My favorite snack is either blackberries and vanilla soy yogurt or anything slathered in nut butter.
