California Summer Salad
The green valleys of California have long been known for fresh produce and fruits, such as peaches, but only in recent years have they become a home to vast blueberry farms. Our California Summer Salad celebrates the culinary cornucopia that is the Golden State: fresh, tender greens tossed with sweet sliced peach and plump blueberries, plus crumbled feta, toasted pine nuts and sliced DOLE® Green Onion for some savory notes. Our white balsamic dressing is just what you’d expect to be served on a salad at one of the many fine restaurants that have popped up along with vineyard tasting rooms throughout the state. California dreaming right at your own table!
