It was a very yummy salad! The initial salad ingredient list should have blueberries on it, according to the pic and the subsequent text.
Glad you loved this one Jenny! Thanks for the heads up on the blueberries.
This salad was so yummy (I did add the maple syrup)and easy to prepare – will prepare often!
