When it comes to summertime barbecues, there is nothing better than coming up with some great recipes and dishes to bring to your next get-together or family barbecue. This cool crunchy sweet side dish with be a welcome addition. Serve it with crackers or tortilla chips
I’ve been trying to come up with a side dish for Memorial Day and the 4th of July and instead of my traditional dessert, I decided on a Red White, and Blue Salad.
It is easy to make and only has a few ingredients to whip it up in a hurry. You can even use frozen berries. It is almost more of a salsa but chunkier. This is a great side dish or appetizer to bring to any party. But I warn you to get a small bowl for yourself before you serve, it will be gone before you know it.
