RED, WHITE, AND BLUE (BERRY) GREEN SALAD
This recipe is more about assembly than actual cooking. (I mostly wanted to post my pics, which are pretty!) I had store-bought Romaine and Aerogarden -grown mixed greens, as well as strawberries and blueberries, needing to be eaten, so I made this salad (a variation of the usual strawberry-feta salads). I also put Recipe#49956 on it, but any bottled raspberry vinegrette will work. Also, it would be good with sliced chicken, avocado, onion, etc on top, or made with spinach. Feel free to enjoy it on the 4th, or any day!

Tips:
- Prep Ahead: You can make the pasta and dressing ahead of time and store them separately in the fridge. Assemble the salad just before serving.
- Choose the Right Pasta: Use a short pasta shape that will hold the sauce and toppings well, such as penne, rotini, or fusilli.
- Cook the Pasta Perfectly: Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, but be sure not to overcook it. Al dente pasta is the best choice for this salad.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh berries, basil, and mozzarella cheese will give your pasta salad the best flavor. If you can, buy them from a local farmer's market or organic grocery store.
- Don't Overdress the Salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Toss the pasta with just enough dressing to coat it evenly.
- Serve Immediately: Pasta salad is best when served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the fridge and let it come to room temperature before serving.
Conclusion:
Red, white, and blueberry pasta salad is a delicious and festive dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its patriotic colors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next barbecue or potluck. So grab your ingredients and give this recipe a try!
