Red, White and Blue Salad image

This is a colorful salad to impress your family and friends with your special taste for mixing the right foods to enhance a delicious combination of flavors. This recipe was created for the "Category Craze-E Contest! With the sub-category of Start with Salad at a Dinner Party! *NOTE: Now that the contest is over I have substituted blue berries for the peas which was one of the special must use ingredients, as suggested by Jen.

I'm not a huge fan of blue cheese, so I used goat cheese instead. It was still delicious!

I'm not usually a fan of fruit in my salad, but this recipe changed my mind. The strawberries and blueberries added a nice sweetness and crunch that complemented the salty feta cheese and creamy avocado. I'll definitely be making this again.

This salad was a hit at my 4th of July party! The colors were so festive and the flavors were delicious. I especially loved the combination of sweet strawberries, creamy avocado, and tangy blue cheese. I'll definitely be making this again next year.
