ROMAINE WITH FETA AND BLUEBERRIES



Romaine With Feta and Blueberries image

This is a tasty and easy to make salad. I love it because it is healthy, low-cal, and nobody would know it. This recipe is from Ultimate Foods for Ultimate Health by Liz Pearson and Mairlyn Smith...I highly recommend this book.

Provided by PJ Funnybunny

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large head romaine lettuce
2 cups blueberries
1/2 cup reduced-fat feta cheese
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 small shallot (I didn't use this in the recipe)

Steps:

  • Wash and dry romaine and tear into bite-sized pieces.
  • Use a mini food processor/blender to puree feta, vinegar, olive oil, honey & shallot (if using).
  • Toss romaine with dressing and add your washed and dried blueberries and toss again -- gently.
  • Apparently you can make the dressing up to two days in advance, but we made it and ate it right way. We had some leftovers for a small snack in the evening.
  • This would also be good with some toasted almonds sprinkled in, but more calories then!
