Alaskan Berry Salad

Dive into the vibrant flavors of the Alaskan wilderness with this refreshing salad that combines the sweet tang of fresh Alaskan berries—blueberries, raspberries, and salmonberries—with crisp mixed greens and creamy feta. Topped with crunchy almonds and drizzled with a zesty homemade vinaigrette, this salad is not just a feast for the eyes but also a burst of nutrition. Originating from the rich natural abundance of Alaska, this dish reflects the region's dedication to fresh, local ingredients and its unique berry varieties that thrive in the cooler climate.
