Spinach Blueberry Salad with Mukamame & Pistachios

This simple salad is great for spring or summer.  I had the chance to work with Litehouse foods to develop a few recipes and this was one I created. Spinach and blueberries boast cancer-fighting phytochemicals as well as potassium and fiber.  Mukamame (shelled green soybeans) provide protein, fiber and texture.  Paired with Litehouse bleu cheese dressing and pistachios, this recipe will become a repeated favorite.  Add grilled chicken or fish to make it a complete meal!  #SeetheLite  #sponsored
