Red, White & Blueberry Salad with Goat Cheese & Toasted Pinons


My foodie friend Justine over at Full Belly Sisters has been making red, white and blue foods like crazy lately … which got me thinking … I need to make a red, white and blue salad! It’s been in my head for a week, waiting to come to life. I’m so glad I finally took time to make it today (even though my son was upset with me for making something for myself since we had agreed to go out for lunch today … hey, it’s just a salad!)

Besides being just the right colors for the 4th of July, it’s got just the right mix of sweet, creamy, tangy and crunchy to make a super-delicious salad. Tangy goat cheese pairs so well with berries, sweet onions kick up the flavor just slightly, the pinons add a soft crunch and a slight sweet nutty flavor, and the lime and ginger yogurt dressing takes it over the top.

And you know what else? Before eating this salad, I felt tired and run down. But AFTER eating this delectable salad, my body felt so refreshed, revived, ready to go! Besides, all those gorgeous colors are a feast for the eyes …

You know I LOVE LOVE LOVE this Ann! (Though I would have to leave out the raw onion, but that is my hang-up)

Brianne, I am SO glad that you do … it’s ok with me if you leave out the onion. Just pass yours over to me and I’ll put it on my salad. I love onions 🙂

[…] The sauce is, incidentally, the very same dressing I used on my Red, White & Blueberry Salad. […]
