The slightly sweet flavor of spinach pairs well with ripe, juicy fruits in this delectable 15-minute salad. Layers of lush berries, bright citrus, meaty hearts of palm, and crunchy pepitas add color and texture to this tasty dish, which might as well be the official recipe of springtime. A drizzle of balsamic vinegar is all you need for the dressing, and its sweetness is tempered by peppery basil leaves to create the perfect finishing flavors for this eye-catching salad. Serve it as a side dish with a bowl of soup, or toss in some cooked and cooled whole grains to make it a substantial meal.

(5 from 1 vote)Great recipe, thanks my family loved it. Couldn't get heart of palm, so I used chick peas instead.
