Arugula Blackberry Lime Salad [+ Homemade Blackberry-Basil Dressing]

Fresh, crisp, & flavourful, this salad is perfect for spring/summer!

When the hotter months come around, I love me a good, fresh salad! I am a huge fan of making my own dressings as well. This allows me to be in charge of the ingredients I add & taste it as I go so it is just how I like it (I encourage you to do this too & play with the ingredients)!

This salad is tangy, yet sweet, crisp & fresh. I love adding fruit to my salads. This adds such a unique flavour profile that is hard to beat!

This dressing is great to have prepped & added to salads throughout the week or for a summer BBQ as well.

With all that being said, let’s get into the recipe! Make sure to tag me in your re-creations over on Instagram so I can share it on my stories! I hope you love this recipe as much as I do!
