Blueberry Lemon Poppy Seed Salad
Holiday weekends, especially extra long ones, are wonderful but tiring. It is easy to end up forgoing the greens for easier options. Lemon and blueberry go well together and provide a beautiful contrast over the mixed greens. A delicious way to eat a few vegetables while still leaving room for the holiday BBQ (or whatever celebratory food you choose). I hope you have a wonderful 4th of July and keep this recipe in mind for any occasion where you need an easy, yet satisfying way to eat your greens.
Remember - I keep an ongoing post of salad dressings. If you are craving a salad but need some dressing inspiration, go to the Salad Dressing Post.
