We wait all year for this classic summer salad and are so excited that it is finally here! We are happy with any combination of sweet fruit, zesty red onion, crunchy nuts, and creamy goat cheese, but this combination of simple ingredients is something special. We are so excited to share this one with you because our team has worked extra hard testing and trialling this dressing to ensure it is infused with a ton of flavour to take this salad to the next level. It took a while to get the ingredients just right, but the result is superb! Each ingredient in the Berrylicious Bliss Salad is carefully selected to give you the best eating experience, and we cannot wait for you to dig in.
What is it About Red Onion and Goat Cheese?
We know. This combination is to die for! There is science behind this epic summer salad combination. Red onion adds bites to the salad, while the goat cheese offers an unparalleled creamy yet zesty and light flavour. Your taste buds jump for joy when you add sweetness to these two profiles. The sweet tang of the mandarin oranges contrasts the crisp texture of the blueberries and cucumber, adding even more approval points to this meal. We added slivered almonds for an earthy, nutty taste and peppered arugula and soft greenhouse lettuce to tone the salad. All of these simple ingredients are brought together with our homemade strawberry balsamic vinaigrette, making the Berrylicious Bliss Salad true summertime bliss!
Let's Hear it for Nutrition!
The Berrylicious Bliss Salad is one of those salads that you look forward to eating. You count down the minutes until lunchtime when you can dig into this colourful bowl of fun! While it may taste too good to be true, some serious nutritional benefits are hidden in every forkful of fruits and veggies. Blueberries, mandarin oranges, and arugula bring you lots of vitamin C and make this salad bright and colourful. Arugula provides many micronutrients for added vitamins, and goat cheese is a good source of protein and healthy fats. This salad is also rich in fibre and antioxidants from all of the good-for-you simple ingredients. There are no cons to digging into this meal, so we encourage you to stock up while this limited-time salad is on the menu!
Did Someone Say Strawberries?
What would a summer be without a strawberry summer salad? We were tired of dealing with strawberry issues so we decided to infuse the dressing with that sought-after strawberry flavour so that you can enjoy that perfect strawberry flavour without any of the quality issues. To achieve this perfect profile, we take fresh strawberries and boil them down to create a puree. This mixture is then combined with fresh mint leaves, balsamic vinegar, a touch of lemon juice and some salt and pepper. The result is *chef's kiss*.
Limited Run and Seasonal Meals
Most of the meals on our menu are launched with the intention to keep them on the menu until you get tired of them. We determine this by the number of times they are ordered and the frequency that a single fan orders them. However, some meals, like the Berrylicious Bliss Salad, are launched knowing that the ingredients are seasonal and that the summer salad will come of the menu after it has run its course. They have their time in the spotlight and will return once the seasons change. The highlighted seasonal ingredients in this meal are the summer BC strawberries that are infused into the dressing, the summertime mandarin oranges, and the local blueberries. The combination of all of the simple ingredients is so summery that we let this one live in the spotlight for only a short while. This means that we encourage you to get your fill before it's gone!
