As you are using beets you could have added a bit of contrast with red cabbage, which is usually purple in color and could not have sparkled out of the bowl like red lettuce. As far as doubling blueberries in the salad is concerned it is a flavorful balance of fruit and fruit in rice wine vinegar. colorful salad and that makes it apt for the summer-cool edition.

Iceburg, and Grandma's homegrown leaf lettuce. Leaf lettuce was so good. I seldom eat iceburg anymore, and I cannot remember the last time I bought any of it. I think it has to be over fifteen years ago! Now, I only eat it when I order a salad out and it unfortunately turns out to be in the bowl! All crunch, no taste and no nutritional value! Thank you, Cat! Glad you approve of the name even if we spell it wrong! ;-) You could make the vinagrette and use that on something other than beets.... Joyce Anne--the beets really taste nice with the blueberry vinagrette--not sour like pickled beets, but not too sweet. Just right. The goat cheese is a good combination with them, too, even if Morganna disapproved! You know–I grew up eating two kinds of lettuce, risingsun. Iceburg, and Grandma’s homegrown leaf lettuce.

I love red beets (as long as they're not pickled)and the combo with the blueberries, goat cheese & almonds sounds yummy. It is an easy way to add an extra serving of fruit to the day. :) I can’t wait to try this!

Green is my favorite color too. Especially Restoration Hardware's celadon. I meant to tell you, love the name of the bun in the oven....good name Kat...even spelled with a "K" Wow, such a pretty salad….too bad I make the same face at beets as Morgana.

Well done on mixing things up a bit! The vinagrette recipe looks lovely, and the picture of your salad certainly is more appealling than the same old iceberg lettuce base.
