 Blueberries
are most abundant and least expensive in the summer, making it
an ideal time to get your fill of these little blue gems. Stock
the fridge and freezer with blueberries to make meals, snacks
and desserts that are easy on the cook. Blueberries never need
to be peeled, pitted, stemmed or chopped –just a quick rinse
and they’re ready to eat or add to recipes.
Try these
ideas for making quick, delicious salads that are enjoyable any
time:
- Toss blueberries, chopped pineapple,
jalapeno pepper and cilantro with lime juice and serve beside
grilled chicken breasts.
- Stir blueberries into your favorite
tuna salad and scoop onto baby spinach.
- Whirl vinaigrette salad dressing
and blueberries in the blender until smooth and toss with green
salads.
Blueberries are not only convenient,
they also provide nutrients our bodies need every day. You can
