Man — it’s like I was trying to create a salad just to make y’all smarter!

Which, let’s face it, must be pretty tough…because if you are here reading my blog, you are definitely a genius!

You know where to come for good stuff. 😉

Seriously though, this salad is not only good for you, it also tastes AMAZING!

 

This is a salad for people who don’t like salads.

Here is the honest-to-goodness truth; I am not a salad person. I would typically rather have a heaping bowl of ramen noodles or a something meaty than eat a salad.

(Also known as “deer food” in my book.)

But honestly, this salad will hit every pleasure center on your tongue’s tastebuds.

The richness of the avocado.

The sweetness of the blueberries.

The crunch of the almonds.

The puckery tang of the balsamic vinaigrette.

So. Good.

 

What kinds of greens to use in a blueberry salad?

This salad uses baby kale as its leafy base, but honestly, it tastes just as amazing with any other greens, such as spinach, arugula, even regular lettuce! 

If you don’t have baby kale on hand, don’t let that stop you from trying this amazing salad!

We have experimented with many different leafy veggies for this salad and they all tasted great.

 

What kind of cheese pairs best with blueberries?

This recipes pairs feta cheese with blueberries. If you like, you could try substituting blue cheese for feta cheese as well!

It’s always good to have options.

I personally think feta is betta, but my husband gets blue if I don’t use blue cheese — you may think I am being cheesy, but it’s totally true.

 

How to add more protein to this salad

Another excellent way to add more protein to this recipe would be to toss in some leftover grilled chicken or rotisserie chicken!

Some sliced steak or hard-boiled eggs also make a great addition.

Or just stick with this sweet vegetarian version.
