    Yep.

    redwhiteandblueberrysalad-4I really did just make that joke.  It happened, and I’m sticking to it.  

    Red, white, and blueberry salad. HAHAHAHAHAHA! 

    Raise your hand if you’ve been assigned to bring a side, or a salad, or any sort of dish to a BBQ this weekend.  

    I know. It’s like the day before, and you’re STILL trying to decide what to make!  I get it.

    redwhiteandblueberrysalad-2Well I’ve got you covered for the prettiest red, white, and blue (berry) salad!  It’s quick, easy, healthy, and of course festive!  

    redwhiteandblueberrysaladAre you a fruit-in-your-salad kind of person?  A lot of people I know aren’t.  BUT I did it anyway. Because it works here.  

    It’s got sweet, salty, creamy, and crunchy. Pretty much my check list of must-haves when creating a salad.  

    redwhiteandblueberrysalad-6Dare to be different.
