Berry Almond Avocado Salad

Berry Almond Avocado Salad with a light honey lime poppyseed dressing served over a bed of your favorite greens.

With all of the berry recipes I’ve been posting lately you would think it’s already summer! Last week I shared this Raspberry Pretzel Dessert. And shortly before that I shared this delicious Berry Shortcake with Coconut Whipped Cream.  At least this Berry Avocado Almond Salad is healthy, right?

The dressing for this salad is a light lime honey poppyseed dressing. But if you look too closely at my photos you may notice the dressing in these photos doesn’t have poppy seeds in it. Whoops!

When I was making this for my husband and I recently I ran out of poppy seeds, so I made the dressing without them. And I really wanted to share this salad with you guys, so I took the photos anyways! The dressing still turned out great, but I’d recommend using the poppy seeds :-).

I love the sweet and crunchy combinations in this salad from the almonds, apples and berries. I also love that it’s hearty enough that it will keep you full for lunch, but it works great as a side dish also. Hope you enjoy this Berry Almond Avocado Salad as much as we do!
