That is why I call it refreshing mixed berry salad with raspberry vinaigrette.
Try serving it as a side to this Roasted Tomato and Fennel Soup for a light summer meal.

Place dressing ingredients in blender or food processor and whir it up until smooth.
Combine the rest of the ingredients and serve with a drizzle of the dressing.
Customization

- You could also use walnuts or pecans in place of the almonds.
Tips
- Chill the salad plates to make this extra special
