Antioxidant Berry Avocado Salad

This Antioxidant Berry Avocado Salad is a refreshing and healthy salad that is packed with flavor. The berries add a touch of sweetness, while the avocado adds a creamy texture. The red onion and walnuts add a bit of crunch, and the chia seeds add a boost of nutrition. The balsamic vinegar and olive oil dressing is light and tangy, and it brings all of the flavors together perfectly.

I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a healthy and refreshing salad to serve at a summer party. I wanted something that was easy to make, but also something that would impress my guests. I started with a base of spinach and mixed greens, and then I added some of my favorite berries, including strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. I also added some avocado for creaminess, red onion for crunch, and walnuts for a bit of nutty flavor. To finish it off, I drizzled the salad with a simple balsamic vinegar and olive oil dressing. The salad was a hit with my guests, and I've been making it ever since.
