Power Summer Salad with Blue Cheese Vinaigrette

You might associate kales and chards with winter, but our Power greens add a whole new dimension to this bold leafy green salad! These baby greens are sweet and tender, just perfect for your summer salad bowl.

Here we've combined a medley of summer ingredients into a colorful, tasty salad with layers of texture and flavor: the crunch of fennel, the smooth creaminess of avocado, and the sweet juiciness of fresh corn. Our tangy blue cheese vinaigrette is the perfect accompaniment, but feel free to experiment with your own favorite dressings, too. Enjoy!
