I thought I should share one of my absolute favorite salad recipes that is light and refreshing and makes a great side dish or lunch option.  Though it is probably considered a summer salad, it is a year-round  favorite of mine at my house! I got the original inspiration for this salad years ago in a store magazine from HEB, which is the grocery store where I faithfully shopped when I lived in Texas.

This salad is easy to make, doesn’t require that many ingredients, and it is delicious! I make this for lunch all the time, but it’s also one of those recipes that is perfect for bringing to a summer picnic or potluck.

The recipe below yields 6-8 servings, but I have included in the notes the approximate amounts that I use when I make an individual-size portion for lunch. Of course, you can adjust it to your personal preferences. I love blueberries, so my salad is sometimes heavy on the blue!
