We are officially in the thick of blueberry season and I am loving it. My aunt has the most perfect garden in the world and let's me come over whenever I want to pick blueberries! I have more blueberries than I know what to do with and I am loving it! I decided to try blueberries in a more savory route and thought why not salad?
This salad is excellent. I love gorgonzola and almonds, so it really isn't a surprise, but that wasn't even my favorite part of this salad. My favorite part was the delicious addition of fresh herbs. It does take some time chopping them, but it is so worth it. It is such a different twist on my normal and boring side dinner salad. I could not get enough of this salad, I served it with a homemade pomegranate vinaigrette, but any fruity vinaigrette dressing would work perfectly! You could easily add grilled chicken or whatever your protein of choice is to make this an entree!
