Fresh Blueberry, Pistachio, & Edamame Salad with Goat Cheese.
Summer is such a glorious time of fresh bounty.
Salads become meals made from fresh fruits and vegetables. Like this yummy salad I made for lunch one day with some plump sweet and tart blueberries, crunchy pistachios, protein and fiber-rich edamame, and creamy crumbled goat cheese piled on a bed of greens.
All of this drizzled with a honey red wine vinaigrette is heaven in a bowl!
What is your favorite summer salad? There are so many wonderful combinations and possibilities!
Fresh Blueberry, Pistachio, & Edamame Salad with Goat Cheese
- Mixed Greens (Kale, Arugula, Spinach Swiss Chard – any of your faves)
- Fresh Blueberries
- Pistachio Nuts, shelled
- Edamame, shelled
- Goat Cheese, crumbled
- Green Onions, chopped (optional)
- Red Wine Vinaigrette Dressing (homemade or your fave – this is how I make mine – it will make more than you need for one salad)
- 1/4 cup Red Wine Vinegar
- 1/2 cup Olive Oil
- Tbsp Honey
- Salt & Pepper
Directions:
In a bowl, place a handful of mixed greens. Top with fresh blueberries, pistachios, edamame, goat cheese, and green onions (if desired). Drizzle with Red Wine Vinaigrette Dressing.
Enjoy!
Cheers & Hugs,

This looks delicious – except, I will have to substitute something for the goat cheese and onions are never an option for me! I do love that vinaigrette dressing, that’s how my daughter makes it too! Now, from the toddler’s point of view: “only the blueberries.” I explained to Benjamin that you will not be able to do any animals and stories for awhile. He asked “why?” Gem’s words: “You know when you want something and I say to Please wait a few minutes, I am busy right now! Well, Jodi is very busy right now.” Benjamin’s response: “Okay, a few more minutes.” We are off to visit Buzz! Thank-you!!

Oh dear! I hope he is willing to wait a lot of minutes LOL. Salads are so flexible – you can use any cheese, onions or none, whatever you please! 🙂

I always forget about edamame! And when I remember, I go through an edamame kick until we are sick of them. I bet this is delicious with all those luscious blueberries with them!

Looks like a winning combination! Yum!! 😜 Love salads in the summer! They are great for dinner. I found an awesome cookbook from Williams-Sonoma called “Salad of the Day.” It has 365 recipes in it! Lots of interesting ideas too! I got my copy at Costco – do you have these stores where you live? But I’m sure you can get it on Amazon too. It has a spiralized zucc salad on the front. 🥗💕
