Blueberry Feta Salad is your new go-to salad recipe for spring! It combines fresh blueberries with feta cheese, almonds, and a lemon poppy seed vinaigrette dressing. Perfect for a brunch, baby shower or Easter celebration!
Confession: as much as I’m ready for winter to be over, I’m also scared to death about what spring and summer will hold. It’s the same every year….winter is long and hard because we don’t really leave the house, and then the warmer weather arrives…..and the kids want to leave the house!
What’s the problem, you ask? Well….it’s just that there’s always so much to get done at home….that spending the day away from home feels daunting! How will I get things done if I’m playing outside or stopping at the park or going on a bike ride!?
I know, I know. It’s all about balance. There’s a time and place for everything. I don’t need to spend my whole life getting things done. Taking my kids to the park is a GOOD thing! You’re right. It’s true. Spring will be amazing!

I totally hear you about leaving the house — I love getting out, but then I’m so behind on everything! The perils of working from home, right? 🙂 I never think to add blueberries to my salad for whatever reason — this just looks so delicious with all that sweet and savory going on, plus it’s so pretty!
Jen says
Beautiful blueberry salad! I write a CSA newsletter with feature recipes and a link to your blueberry feta salad will be included this week! Thanks!
Patsy says
Didn’t happen notice how many this is estimated to serve?

So I made this on Sunday for a Gender Reveal party. I seriously picked it randomly (plus Feta, mmm!) .
Oh my gosh! This recipe is amazing! I had so many people coming up to me to gush about it, I lost count. I sent them to your website for the exact recipe.
I couldn’t find Golden Balsamic Vinegar, which was surprising. The store I go to usually has all the good stuff! However, I used a light, fruity balsamic instead and it worked great. Hopefully I can try the recipe in its original form one day soon!
Anywho, this recipe is a keeper. I posted it to my blog, credited completely back to you to help my friends find you, and now I plan on searching for more delicious recipes on your site.
Thank you so much!

when you do a recipe it helps if you tell how many it will serve.

I am so excited to try this salad but I can’t find golden balsamic vinegar anywhere, could
you suggest a subsitute you think might work well, thanks!
