Blueberry Feta & Mint Salad

Are you seeking creative ways to use your garden herbs?  Well, look no further than tossing them into your salads! I’ve certainly been loving this Blueberry, Feta and Mint salad, which combines sweet, salty and crunch. This will be a true family favourite! Additionally, I recommend cutting up your greens in advance for speedy salad assembly.

I planted my first herb garden in 2017. The idea came after feeling frustrated going to the grocery store to buy separate herbs and having them go bad before I could use them.

Top 5 Reasons to Enjoy Garden Herbs:

1. Convenience of having them easily accessible instead of going to grocery store.
2. Powerful flavour boosters to dishes, which also allows you to cut back on salt.
3. Add a punch of colour to your foods for appealing presentation.
