Summer is berry season, and all four main varieties are sweet and delicious. Blackberries are the fourth most popular berry in the United States and can often be overlooked. But trust us, the sweet-tart taste of blackberries make a fabulous addition to many dishes, but our favorite right now is this blackberry goat cheese salad.
This salad is simple and delicious: fresh blackberries, peppery arugula, creamy goat cheese, and crunchy pistachios, all combined in an addictive honey mustard dressing. It's a great salad for any occasion, but especially great in summer when blackberries are local.
