BLACKBERRY SPINACH SALAD WITH POPPYSEED DRESSING

Fresh blackberries in season are not only great tasting, but are also a powerhouse of nutrition. They are very high in fiber and have one of the highest antioxidant contents of any food tested. They also contain specific phytonutrients that have been shown to protect the brain from oxidative stress and help reduce the effects of age-related conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Blackberries also aid in the fight against cancers in the gastrointestinal tract, such as colon cancer. The creamy poppyseed dressing will become a favorite on any salad, but works very well with the sweetness of the berries.
