Red, White and Blue Salad image

This is a colorful salad to impress your family and friends with your special taste for mixing the right foods to enhance a delicious combination of flavors. This recipe was created for the "Category Craze-E Contest! With the sub-category of Start with Salad at a Dinner Party! *NOTE: Now that the contest is over I have substituted blue berries for the peas which was one of the special must use ingredients, as suggested by Jen.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover berries. I had some strawberries and blueberries that were about to go bad, so I threw them in this salad and they were perfect.

I'm not a huge fan of coleslaw, but this salad is amazing. The dressing is light and flavorful, and the berries add a nice sweetness. I'll definitely be making this again!
