I love this recipe!!! I brought one serving for myself to a family reunion because all they make is fried everything, and every type of salad they make has mayo. My mother-in-law asked what it was and I told her I found it on this website and she said she was going to make it for herself. I followed this exactly too. I didn't change a thing.

We loved this salad! The only things I changed were to use candied walnuts (rather than toasted pecans) and to use a bottled raspberry vinaigrette dressing rather than making my own. I took this to a church potluck and every morsel was devoured. I will be making this again and again whenever fresh blueberries are in season and/or affordable!
