Triple Berry Summer Salad features three types of juicy, summer berries. This fresh salad is packed with craveable flavors and textures!
There’s no better way to celebrate summer and fresh berry season then with Triple Berry Summer Salad!
Three types of sweet and juicy berries top a bed of fresh greens along with creamy avocado, tangy goat cheese, and crunchy almonds. Dress simply with balsamic vinegar, or balsamic vinaigrette, then serve as a gorgeous side to any grilled dinner, or as a light main all on its own.
Enjoyed al fresco, this meal is the epitome of summer freshness!
Berries are flying off the shelves at my grocery store these days as they’re in-season, inexpensive and tasting great. My favorite include plump blueberries, sweet strawberries, and juicy raspberries so I chose to highlight them in this salad, along with fresh basil, and cool avocado.
If you’ve never tried pairing sweet berries with basil — prepare to be wow’ed. It is such a delicious combo!
Place the washed and dried berries, diced avocado, and sliced basil on top of fresh baby spinach then sprinkle with toasted sliced almonds for crunch, and crumbled fresh chevre for tangy creaminess. .
Finish with a drizzle of good quality balsamic vinegar, or my favorite Maple-Balsamic Vinaigrette, then dig in! Easy, fresh, fabulous, and no-cook — this is the perfect summer meal. Enjoy!

Made this for lunch and it was delicious! I added blackberries and a tablespoon of oscar meyer real bacon bits. I forgot the avocado, but I’m making it again tomorrow and going to add that for sure!
Wow! I printed it off immediately. This one is definitely a keeper. Wouldn’t have thought of adding the basil, but I do love fresh basil.
What a perfect salad now that it’s warming up. Love the berries – perfect mix with the goat cheese. Sweet and salty, yum.
Those pictures did it for me – off to get some ingredients right now!
Thanks for this one.
This is definitely a must-make! I love ALL berries and I really do need to incorporate more salad into my diet – my skinny jeans are becoming unbearable to wear at this point!
Made it for dinner last night with ribs. Having it again tonight with grilled chicken. Yum!!!
YUM!!! This looks amazing. I just got out of bed and want it right now haha
Love pairing sweet, fresh fruit with tangy goat cheese! Can’t wait to try your recipe!
Now that is one gorgeous salad! I’m a total sucker for anything with raspberries :)
Speaking of chèvre- have you tried the honey chèvre at Trader Joe’s? It’s out of this world good. Creamy, tangy, and sweet. You can really taste the honey without it being over powering or too sweet. We love it stuffed in dates and on salads especially!
I could eat this alllll summer long!
