You will love the delicious flavors in this healthy salad with cucumber, fresh blueberries and feta cheese.  It all starts with a bed of fresh romaine lettuce and green leaf lettuce, cleaned, dried and chopped. Both of these lettuce choices will give you a healthy dose of Vitamin K and Vitamin A.

Hints and Tips for Making a Healthy and Delicious Blueberry Salad

  • If possible, try and purchase organic blueberries. Toss your blueberries in a small sink colander and spray lightly with your sink sprayer. Let the blueberries dry before adding to your salad. You can sprinkle blueberries lightly with either salt or sugar.
  • Definitely try and buy organic cucumbers if you enjoy eating them unpeeled.  If you peel your cucumbers, it’s a bit safer to go with the non-organic. If the price isn’t significantly different, always go with organic whenever possible.

Scoop the Seeds out of Your Cucumbers

If you buy regular cucumbers, you can easily remove the seeds by scraping gently with a spoon. Wash the cucumbers thoroughly before handling. Slice the cucumbers in half longways. Scrape a spoon down the center of the cucumber to remove the seeds.

We like to slice the cucumbers into smaller chunks and then lightly salt.

 

block of feta cheese

Use Fresh Feta Cheese if Possible

We love using a block of fresh feta cheese and then cutting it into small pieces as needed. You can also buy crumbled feta cheese that is a little cheaper in cost. If you purchase the block of fresh feta, store in an airtight container in your fridge.

This is also a great salad to prepare when you find those plump blueberries at your favorite farmer’s market and you need to use them up!

What Salad Dressing Works Best with This Salad –

We think your favorite dressing is the best way to dress up this salad. We love going with a creamy buttermilk ranch, but also a balsamic Italian will work well too.

Simple Honey Balsamic Dressing –

Mix Together –

3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
