  • Frequently Asked Questions
  • Ready in five minutes — No cooking, no complicated steps. Toss, drizzle, done.
  • Deeply flexible — Use whatever greens, berries, and microgreens you have. It works with all of them.
  • Genuinely flavorful — The combination of juicy berries, creamy feta, earthy microgreens, and tangy vinaigrette hits several flavor notes at once.
  • Easy to turn into a full meal — A handful of chickpeas or some sliced tempeh and this becomes a satisfying main dish.
  • Leafy greens. Arugula, baby spinach, kale, romaine, or spring mix all work well. Choose whatever you enjoy most or whatever is in season.
  • Berries. Strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries all work beautifully here, either on their own or mixed together. Fresh is best for texture and flavor.
  • Vinaigrette. A homemade lemon vinaigrette is ideal, but any store-bought option you enjoy will do. A quick drizzle of olive oil and vinegar works too if you’re in a pinch.
  • Vegan feta cheese. Adds creaminess and a savory, salty contrast. Can’t find it at the store? Make your own with our tofu feta recipe .
  • In a large bowl, combine the leafy greens, microgreens, fresh berries, and crumbled vegan feta.
  • Toss gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  • Divide between plates or bowls.
  • Drizzle with vinaigrette, toss lightly, and serve immediately.
  • Add protein to make it a main dish. Tempeh, tofu, chickpeas, or white beans all work well here. They add substance without competing with the berry flavors.
  • Mix in nuts for crunch. Chopped pecans, walnuts, or sliced almonds add a satisfying textural contrast to the soft berries and creamy feta.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs. Mint is a natural match for berries and gives the salad a bright, refreshing lift. Fresh basil or parsley both work if mint isn’t your preference.
  • Try raspberry vinaigrette. Our homemade raspberry vinaigrette deepens the berry flavor of the salad and adds a naturally sweet note to the dressing.
  • No vinaigrette on hand? A simple drizzle of good olive oil and a splash of white wine or apple cider vinegar gets the job done without any fuss.
