Instructions
Rinse and drain the fresh spinach leaves to remove any dirt, then pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a blender or food processor, combine 1 cup of raspberries, Greek yogurt, olive oil, honey, white wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more honey for sweetness or vinegar for tanginess.
Place the spinach leaves in a large serving bowl.
Toss the spinach with the creamy raspberry dressing until evenly coated. Reserve some dressing for drizzling over the top if desired.
Arrange the red onion slices, toasted slivered almonds, crumbled feta cheese, and a handful of fresh raspberries on top of the salad as garnishes.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture. Optionally, serve extra dressing on the side for guests to add as desired.
