Blackberry and Walnut Salad
It is finally warming up here. The trees have budded and the lily of the valleys are poking their little bells up through the leaves. I am craving raw food instead of cooked food (yes, it changes with the seasons). Blackberries were on sale at my local market and I bought a couple of boxes! Blackberries go beautifully with walnuts but what really makes this salad is the Lime Ginger Vinaigrette with Shallot. It balances out the flavors beautifully and is is literally bursting with spring time flavor.

OMG, this was so delicious I could hardly stand it. The dressing is about the best I have ever tasted. I was so full afterwards. Every mouthful was like MMM, MMMM, MMMMMM. This is going on my list of favourite salads.

I never think to put fruit in my salad but all the fancy restaurants do and I love it then. Thanks for the idea!
