Cut the strawberries and beets. Combine with the blueberries and pecans and place on top of the shredded broccoli and Brussels Sprouts.
Make the Cherry Balsamic Vinaigrette or use a dressing of your choice. Decide if you want to enjoy this as a salad or slaw. To enjoy as a slaw, toss all the ingredients with the Cherry Balsamic Vinaigrette. To enjoy as a salad, keep the fruit and nuts on top of the bed of greens and drizzle the dressing on top. Serve as a side dish or add a protein source on top to make a complete meal!
