Fresh greens are topped with blueberries, quinoa, sprouts, chickpeas, avocado, and almonds to create a Spring Superfood Bowl with blueberry-ginger dressing!
The first day of summer is going to be here before we know it. Here in Florida it feels like summer already arrived. The weather is beautiful and the daily afternoon rain showers have started. The arrival of summer means vacations, road trips, backyard barbecues and more. But before we head into summer, I wanted to share with you one of my favorite recipes featuring fresh spring flavors. Blueberries, sprouts, avocado, greens and more are packed into this Spring Superfood Bowl. A fresh blueberry-ginger dressing tops it all off and creates a meal packed with flavor and important nutrients to supercharge your body for summer.
I love using organicgirl SUPER SPINACH because it not only includes baby spinach, but also baby bok choy and sweet baby kale. Three different types of greens means more flavor and vitamins. Salad greens are one ingredient that I always have in my fridge. I add them to my egg scramble in the morning, layer them over my sandwich for lunch and make myself a beautiful bowl of green goodness for dinner. Spring Superfood bowls are everything that I love about spring in one easy bowl.

This looks so fresh and delicious! I love the pink dressing. Yum yum 🙂
Such a pretty salad! I love all of the colors! And the dressing sounds fantastic!
Ashley – This salad is colorful, flavorful, and healthful. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I’m always looking for salad ideas throughout the week. Most of the ingredients in this salad I have on hand. My best friend lives in Tampa and she says that the weather has been in the 90s this week. Feeling hot, hot, hot! My hair would not fair well with that humidity.
Ashley this is one gorgeous bowl!! Love all the yummy superfoods. Can you believe its almost summer? Crazy right. PS how so you deal with that florida humidity? It’s super hot out here in Palm Springs, Ca but we don’t have the humidity.
So I bought a blueberry dressing at the farmers market last weekend, and I’m OBSESSED with it! Seriously, I”ve been drizzling it on my salads every day. So glad you made this recipe so that I can try my hand at making blueberry dressing at home!
