Blackberry Spinach Salad

 

It’s Sunday Funday and it’s all about enjoying the summer berry bounty!

I have to admit that this one took a little thought.  I mostly enjoy berries in pie form or in margarita form.

Finally I decided to switch things up and make a salad that was bursting with summer flavors!  It was the perfect use for the handful of blackberries leftover in the fridge!
