The combination of sweet strawberries, blueberries, and salty feta cheese is delicious, and the balsamic vinaigrette dressing adds a nice tang. This salad is also very easy to make, so it's a great option for a weeknight meal.
This salad was inspired by a trip I took to Italy a few years ago. I was staying in a small town in Tuscany, and one night I went to a local restaurant for dinner. I ordered a mixed greens salad with strawberries, blueberries, and feta cheese, and it was so delicious that I have been making it ever since. The combination of flavors is perfect, and the salad is always a hit with my friends and family. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
