This big salad for one, sounds fancy but it really has very simple ingredients. It begins on a bed of greens (I used spinach, romaine, and arugla) topped with fresh blackberries, pecans, basil leaves and goat cheese. A lemon vinaigrette brings all the flavours together . This salad comes together in less than 10 minutes.  And it’s very easy to simply add more ingredients if you are serving more people. 

Serve this salad with a protein to be a full meal.

I hope you enjoy this beautiful salad.
