The original recipe didn’t call for blueberries but I added them anyway. My husband thought they were better with the blueberries rather than leaving them out. This delectable salad is healthy, low calorie, gluten free and vegan for those who are watching their diet.

I was contacted by someone in our church and asked to bring a meal to a family in our church that needed some meals. I made them a batch of Paula Deen’s Crockpot Potato Soup, some homemade rolls, this luscious salad and some Candy Bar Brownies. They were so appreciative of the meal and I was glad to be able to do it.

We also enjoyed some of this Almond Raspberry Tossed Salad ourselves. My husband and I both enjoy Tossed Salads with fruit, so anytime I throw together something along that line, we dig in! I could have added some other things to the salad, but decided to leave it with only the addition of blueberries.

I also modified the dressing so it would be healthier. Most of the time, I use avocado oil instead of any other kind of oil for homemade salad dressing. I also substitute honey for sugar. I like processing the ingredients in my Vitamix because it really infuses the ingredients better than whisking alone. Still, this is a tangy dressing even though I increased the honey. So if you want a really sweet dressing, try decreasing the white wine vinegar a little.

If you’re looking for a healthy salad for your next dinner party, backyard barbecue, potluck or company dinner, consider making up this easy, delicious salad. You’ll find everyone will want seconds of this wonderful salad.
