Instructions
- Combine salad ingredients: In a medium bowl, add the fresh spinach, blueberries, halved strawberries, pineapple chunks, chopped walnuts, and sliced red onions. Mix carefully to combine all components.
- Toss the salad: Gently toss all the salad ingredients together to evenly distribute the fruit, nuts, and spinach for balanced flavors.
- Prepare the dressing: In a small jar or bowl, stir together extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the dressing is emulsified.
- Dress the salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl. Gently toss again to coat every bite with the dressing without bruising the spinach or crushing the fruit.
