Yesterday, in pursuit of making the traditional summer barbecue a shade healthier, guest blogger Pamela MacElree had us preparing brown rice and goat cheese apps and serving up fruits, veggies and cheese on a platter. Today, she tosses a simple salad idea our way. Tomorrow, the main course!

It's simple and sounds delicious. Plus, blueberries are the best this time of year.
