This easy and tasty summer salad is simple to make and ready in just 15 minutes. It is bright and colourful, and bursting with flavour thanks to fig balsamic vinegar syrup and flaxseed oil. The toasted pine nuts add an extra special touch to this vibrant cherry tomato salad, that you can make all year round, but tastes the best when tomatoes are at their peak in summer.
|
- Spread the pine nuts on a baking sheet and bake at 180C/350F, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown, 5 to 10 minutes. You can also do this in a skillet. Just put the pine nuts in a dry skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until golden, about 3 minutes.
- Arrange the arugula leaves on a serving platter. Place the halved cherry tomatoes and blueberries on top. Drizzle with flaxseed oil and fig balsamic syrup. Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and basil leaves.

Angie - what a gloriously colorful salad! So loving that ig balsamic vinegar syrup and flaxseed oil dressing.
Hi Angie! This salad looks amazing! Haven't been visiting your blog, hope all is well. Can't wait to make a similar salad as well...since I just got a red wine shallots vinaigrette today! Thanks for the lovely idea :)) Keep your wonderful creations coming!!
Oh, love this! Way to go, Angie! It sounds delicious and looks delicious too! Great presentation!
Dear Angie, What a delicious and healthy salad. I love the addition of basil leaves and the fig balsamic. Have a beautiful day. xo Catherine
What a beautiful salad!
It looks beautiful & delicious!
I must try to find Fig balsamic vinegar syrup, it sounds sinfully delicious.
This is all my summer staples, I love these types of salad. Colourful and oh so tasty.
I love the blueberries and cherry tomato combination in this salad. Sounds delicious!
I'm a sucker for arugula, this peppery lettuce never lets me down and the addition of pine nuts and blueberries makes my tastebuds sing. Great recipe Angie :)
What a beautiful looking salad! I love all the ingredients and I can just imagine the taste.
I love the flavors you've mixed together in the pretty summer salad, Angie!
It is a truly beautiful salad. I haven't had pine nuts in ages, the Italian ones are sooo expensive and I refuse to buy the imported Chinese ones, too many people have had such issues with them.
what a beautiful summer salad!
Any day salad for me. Love the peppery arugula!
I have been buying colored cherry tomatoes like they are going out of style! haha This salad sounds perfect!
What a pretty salad! Looks -- and tastes! -- like summer. Thanks!
I love tomatoes! Can't wait to try this lovely healthy salad. Thanks Angie!
This salad screams summer! The colors and textures. Delightful!

Dear Angie, This couldn't sound any better, I love all the ingredients and as you say, salads are much better when prepared with season products. Here in Chile we are enjoy "plain Hiver", so I will have to wait a little while for the cherry tomatoes, as a matter of fact it was yesterday I started preparing the seed nursery
I just love fruit in lettuce type salads, so yummy!
Such a vibrant summer salad Angie! Love the pop of sweetness from the blueberries!
LOVE this beautiful salad, Angie! So colorful and I bet the blueberries add a unique pop of flavor! :)
Love It!
How beautiful this is, Angie - love the cheerfulness!
I absolutely love salads like this! Beautiful photos! Have a wonderful week, Angie.
Definitely my type of salad! It's the perfect summer meal!
What a delicious way to use my summer tomatoes and fresh basil. Thanks so much, Angie. You have some of the best recipes.
Sounds delicious and so light! Perfect for summer :D
I agree. The cherry tomatoes in season taste so much better than off-peak season. Love your salad, with the extras - blueberries and pine nuts.
thats one gorgeous looking salad!
Those tomatoes looks fantabulous. Love the colours. If the tomatoes are ripe, juicy and flavoursome, there's nothing quite like a tomato salad in summer.
Look tasty! I gonna try this during my new house warming for our guests. :) Thanks for sharing this!
