My latest addiction....

So, this salad is my latest addiction. I can't get enough of it. It's a simple salad, but the dressing is to die for!

It's called Blueberry Salad, but I used strawberries instead since they are in season!

Blueberry Salad

(from our church cookbook, DeAnn Winter)

Lettuce ( I used spinach)

Monterey Jack cheese, cubed

1/4 cup pecans, toasted

1 cup blueberries (or strawberries)

red onion, diced to taste

red pepper, diced to taste ( I left this out)

Dressing:

1 small onion, minced (can use dried onion)

1 1/2 cup sugar

2/3 cup balsamic vinegar

2 tsp. dry mustard

1 1/2 tsp. salt

2 cups oil

2-3 TBSP poppy seeds

Wash and drain lettuce. Place in a large salad bowl. In a blender, puree dressing ingredients. This will make a LARGE amount. Sprinkle cheese, pecans, berries and red onion and pepper over lettuce. Drizzle with dressing, toss and serve!

It makes a serious amount of dressing, so just know that :)

But it's soooo good. YUM!!
