Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Dressing: Combine 1/3 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 1 cup blueberries, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a blender. Optionally add 1 tablespoon of Besti Powdered Sweetener. Blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds until smooth, leaving some blueberry pieces for texture.
  2. Assemble the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of spring mix greens, 1 cup blueberries, and 1/2 cup toasted walnuts. Crumble 4 ounces of fresh goat cheese over the top. Toss gently to distribute ingredients without bruising the greens.
  3. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the blueberry vinaigrette over the salad just before serving, about 1/4 cup should suffice. Toss with clean hands or tongs to ensure even dressing.
  4. Serve Immediately: Transfer the salad to a large serving bowl or platter and enjoy fresh to experience the textures and flavors.
