This easy Blueberry Spinach Salad takes just 5 minutes of time to make! It’s a light and refreshing side that pairs great with everything.

This salad requires minimal prep time and packs great for lunch as well!

Simple Blueberry Spinach Salad

Adding blueberries to an otherwise simple spinach salad adds a touch of sweetness to each bite.

This salad comes together quickly by tossing everything in a bowl without the need to chop any ingredients, which is why I love delegating this recipe to someone else while I finish prepping dinner.

If you wait to toss it with the dressing until you’re ready to eat it, you can also make it ahead and have it ready for dinner time.

Spinach Salad Variations and Toppings

Even though this recipe is simple enough as is, there is always room for more toppings! You can add whatever you’d like to make it your own. Add a little variety by adding one or more of these:

• Cherry tomatoes
• Purple onions
• Croutons
• Grilled chicken
• Hard-boiled eggs

Is this Spinach Blueberry Salad Healthy?

Spinach salads are highly nutritious, and by adding blueberries, you’re upping the nutritional content of your meal. Antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fiber… you’re getting it all in one serving.

Of course, what tends to up the calories and void any nutrition out of a salad is always the dressing you choose, which is why I always suggest tossing the dressing all over the salad and adding just enough to give it flavor. This is better than drizzling ranch right out of the bottle or jar over the plate, of course.

Remember that a little dressing can go a long way.

Dressing Options for Blueberry Spinach Salad

If you don’t want to use a vinaigrette salad dressing, you can opt for other dressings like my Homemade Ranch, Cilantro Lime Ranch, Citrus Vinaigrette, Maple Dijon Dressing, or anything else that you’re craving.
