Yep.
I 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.
Well I’ve got you covered for the prettiest red, white, and blue (berry) salad! It’s quick, easy, healthy, and of course festive!
Are 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.
Dare to be different.
