Lemon Scented Strawberry Blueberry Salad (Red, White and Blue for the 4th of July)

June 21, 2015

One of the main reasons to love a July Fourth BBQ is the food (of course!). And this light, healthy, super delicious strawberry blueberry salad is the perfect accompaniment to the smoky, charred burgers coming off the grill. Kids will love the naturally sweet berries, parents will love that the kids are eating greens, and everyone will love the patriotic deliciousness!
