Ingredients:
For the Salad:
2 cups kale, chopped (stems removed)
2 cups fresh spinach, torn into bite-sized pieces
2 cups arugula
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)

Instructions:
Prepare the salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped kale, fresh spinach, and arugula. Toss gently to mix the greens together.
Add the toppings: Add the dried cranberries, fresh blueberries, sliced strawberries, halved grape tomatoes, thinly sliced red onions, and mini cucumber slices to the greens. Toss again to combine.
Make the dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and sea salt. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed (add more lemon juice or salt for extra tang and flavor).
Dress the salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat the ingredients evenly.
Serve: Serve immediately as a fresh, vibrant salad that’s full of color and flavor, or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
