A couple of months ago I was in Napa for a Blueberry Council event. Yah guys “Blueberry Council” sometime like that actually exist! Anyhow I had a great time hanging out with a bunch of great chefs around the world and watching them cook up some tasty dishes and even getting my hands dirty too. It was fun to see all the unique ideas the chefs had at incorporating blueberries into their dishes. We had things like baby back ribs with blueberry barbecue sauce, pork kebabs with blueberry spice and sweet and sour pickled blueberries.
So needless to say blueberries have been top of mind for me… that and salads since I’ve been eating crazy rich foods lately. This was a quick salad I made for lunch last week. It’s simple and flavorful – and you can save the dressing to use on salads later!
