Green salads are popular not just because they are healthy but also because they are relatively easy to make. Blueberry spinach salad, in particular, offers a delightful balance of flavors and textures. The sweetness of the blueberries complements the bitterness of the spinach, and the crunch of the walnuts adds another layer of interest. It is light and refreshing, perfect for a quick lunch or a light dinner.

Steps:
- In a jar with tight-fitting lid, combine first five ingredients and shake well.
- In a large salad bowl, toss the spinach, blue cheese, blueberries and pecans.
- Add dressing and toss gently.
- Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, ripe ingredients for the best flavor. Slightly wilted spinach or mushy blueberries will detract from the salad's overall taste and texture.
- Use a variety of nuts and seeds for added crunch and flavor. Almonds, walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds are all great options.
- Add a protein source to make the salad more filling. Grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu are all good choices.
- Make a homemade vinaigrette dressing for the best flavor. A simple combination of olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey is all you need.
- Store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The dressing should be stored separately and added just before serving.
