Blueberry Salad with Coconut Cilantro Dressing

This is one of those summer recipes that you can whip up in under five minutes.

It’s an incredibly simple dish and I’ve been enjoying it (beyond words) over the past few weeks.

I just can’t help but share the love here, folks … I make easy vegetarian recipes every week- but this one’s a keeper!

Blueberries

Sheeehhhh- it’s been hot in Manhattan and all I want is salad. How’s the weather by you? I’ve been dodging the heat for the air-conditioned food stores here in NYC every day.

And after spending hours soaking up the cool air in Whole Foods Market last week, I landed upon their fabulous organic berries that looked so plump and perfect. Next thing I knew it was an hour later and I was at the register purchasing four pints of their pretty organic blueberries.

Ha. Time flies when you’re having fun.

Am I the only one that has fun in Whole Foods Market? I swear I could live there. I’d pull up a sleeping bag right between the avocados and the zucchini.

Not kidding.

Anyway, back to this healthy salad recipe … I’ve been craving this sweet salad every afternoon since I bought those berries.

All you need is some fresh lettuce (I love Earthbound Farms), organic blueberries, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, coconut flakes and fresh cilantro!
