Blueberry Feta Salad (via The Fig Tree)

Blueberry, feta, and toasted pecans make the perfect salad for spring! I love fruit in my salad and blueberries are packed with antioxidants and flavor. The pecans add protein and that crunchy kick while the feta balances the salad out. Top with balsamic for an instant favorite!
