Gluten Free Blueberry Power Salad Recipe

Now that winter has gone, and we’ve emerged from hibernation and put our down jackets and wool sweaters away, it’s also time that we set aside the winter comfort foods. Instead of filling our tables with sweet potatoes and winter squashes, let’s lighten things up and welcome spring and all its amazing produce.

I’m a firm believer in eating as seasonally as possible, which is partly why I love spring so much. With all that variety, I’m going to show you how to use the abundance of fresh produce in this gluten free blueberry power salad recipe. Loaded with antioxidants and healthy fats, this truly is a power-packed salad! The dressing is also incredible; it’s bright, tangy, and the basil flavor pairs perfectly with the other ingredients.
