Blueberries and Spring Greens with Homemade Blueberry Salad Dressing
Welcome to the first monthly Salad Recipe series launched by my friend Wendy from the Weekend Gourmet
#TheSaladBar is the name of the series. Many bloggers will be participating in this monthly series. Each month will have a theme.
This month the theme is Berries.
I tasted an excellent blueberry salad dressing that came in one of the prepackaged lettuce mixes from Trader Joe’s a while back and this challenge got me thinking that I could make my own Blueberry Salad Dressing and share it with all of you.

Spring greens or even baby spinach leafs goes so well with the blueberries and this dressing.
Just use your imagination and pick the veggies that you love best.
I just love the fact that blueberries are tasty, but think of all the health benefits you get from berries too.
