This salad is simply more blue than your average side dish. The sweet tang of blueberries is a lovely foil to the sharp tang of blue cheese. Dark, earthy spinach leaves provide a pretty and tasty back-up section to the star flavors in this simple Blueberry Blue Cheese Spinach Salad. Depending on your mood (and how much you adore blue cheese) either a simple Sherry Vinaigrette or a heartier Blue Cheese Dressing works great with this mix.
