Berry & Kiwi Salad with Sweet Balsamic Dressing


Happy Monday morning! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, and that your week has started off well. My weekend flew by and it really didn't feel like I had one at all, but I woke up this morning ready to face the week with drive and determination. I recently decided that I needed to incorporate more salads into my diet, and this berry-centric salad was a slam-dunk for me. Not only do I love fruit, and fruit in salads, but the dressing was out of this world amazing! I enjoyed every single bite, and was grateful that I only made one serving, or I would have eaten it all and defeated the purpose of eating a  healthy salad! This is a wonderfully refreshing salad for the warm days of Spring and Summer, and you don't want to miss the opportunity to try it.
