Tips:

  • Use ripe, fresh berries: This will ensure that your salad is bursting with flavor. If you can, use berries that are in season.
  • Choose a good quality blue cheese: A sharp, flavorful blue cheese will add a lot of depth to your salad. If you're not sure what to choose, ask your local cheese shop for recommendations.
  • Make sure your dressing is well-balanced: The dressing should be creamy and flavorful, but not too heavy. A good rule of thumb is to use 1 part vinegar or lemon juice to 2 parts oil.
  • Toss the salad gently: Over-tossing the salad will bruise the berries and make the salad look wilted. Toss it gently until the dressing is evenly distributed.
