Blueberry Chef Salad

Published July 20, 2015

I have really been craving salads lately. Sometimes just having a tossed salad to start dinner is enough. Other times- I want dinner to be the salad. This is one of those salads that is a meal all on its own. Made with plenty of blueberries it is one of my favorites. The dressing is a creamy honey French dressing which pairs beautifully with the berries. I topped mine off with cashews, but you could add croutons if you like.

In blender, combine first five ingredients and start running machine on high. Add oil in a slow stream until mixture becomes thickened. Pour into bowl and stir in berries and chill, several hours if you can. When ready to serve arrange greens on one large platter or on smaller salad plates. Arrange meat and cheese on platter or plates. Spoon over the dressing and cashews then serve. Serves 4-6.
