And just like that, we made it to the 4th of July! Well, almost. In just a couple of days, it will be time to don our red, white, and blue, and celebrate with fireworks and cookouts.

If you read the blog regularly, you may recall the Strawberry Tahini Dressing I posted a couple of weeks ago. I made that dressing specifically for this salad, but it was so yummy that I turned it into a separate post.

Consider that your teaser for what you’re about to read ;-)!! This Blueberry Spinach Salad is a REAL treat, and it features red (from the dressing), white (from the feta cheese), and blue (from the blueberries).

The festive colors are great and all, but these ingredients also happen to be a fantastic combo. And I’m so glad that my love for creating holiday-themed recipes helped me make this v important discovery!

I include some recommended amounts of these ingredients in the recipe card (see below), but as with any salad, you can increase or decrease the toppings however your little heart desires.

You can make this blueberry spinach salad a more complete meal by topping it with a lean protein, like grilled salmon or chicken, hard boiled eggs, or chickpeas. If you want to serve it as a side dish, you can eat it with burgers, fish, or skewers!
