Berry and Goat Cheese Salad

Berries and goat cheese were ALWAYS meant to be together. This fresh, easy berry and goat cheese salad is a perfect lunch or light dinner. It takes me back to the days were I would PILE nuts and cheese and fruit in my salad without realizing how high salad-calories could climb. HA! This one still checks all of the boxes, but keeps the macros on point.

This berry and goat cheese salad recipe has ingredients that won’t just sit in your fridge and not get used for anything but salad. That’s ALWAYS a win. We always have berries and nuts on hand for yogurt bowls and snacks… and if I’m feeling overstocked, it’s time for a berry salad!

How to Make Berry and Goat Cheese Salad

For Berry and Goat Cheese Salad:

• Arugula (100 g)
• Grilled chicken, chopped (100 g)
• Strawberries, chopped (50 g)
• Blueberries (50 g)
• Red onion, diced (30 g)
• Crumbled goat cheese (14 g)
• Pistachios (15 g)

Pile all your salad ingredients together in your favorite salad bowl. For the dressing, it’s really as simple as whisking your three dressing ingredients together. Drizzle the dressing over your salad and it’s ready!

Serving Suggestions

For the grilled chicken, I usually recommend my bulk apple cider dijon chicken recipe because it’s so delicious and we always have it on hand at my house. Any of these other grilled chicken recipes would also be super tasty though!
