What Blueberry Feta Salad made of
A blueberry feta salad is made of a mixture of ingredients that include:
- Arugula: A type of leafy green with a slightly bitter taste.
- Blueberries: Sweet and juicy berries that add a pop of color to the salad. Better to use fresh blueberries, but I have only frozen ones, so I defrosted them I’m advance. By the way,blueberries are packed with antioxidants and phytoflavinoids. These berries are also high in potassium and vitamin C, making them the top choice of doctors and nutritionists.
- Feta cheese: A tangy and creamy cheese that is crumbled into small pieces.
- Almonds: Crunchy and nutty nuts that add texture to the salad.
- Salad dressing: A dressing made of oil, vinegar and mustard, to tie all the flavors together.
What mixes well with blueberries

- Fruits: Other sweet and juicy fruits like strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries.
- Dairy: Creamy dairy products like yogurt, ice cream, or whipped cream.
- Nuts: Almonds, walnuts, or pecans add crunch and nuttiness.
- Herbs: Fresh herbs like mint or basil bring a bright and fresh flavor.
- Spices: Cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom add a warm and cozy flavor.
- Cheese: Feta, goat cheese, or ricotta cheese balances the sweetness of the blueberries.
These ingredients can be used in a variety of dishes, from smoothies and baked goods to salads and fruit compotes. The combinations are endless, and blueberries can be paired with many different ingredients to create delicious and satisfying dishes.
