I love this time of year when there’s a plentiful display of colorful berries. I decided to create a summer salad dinner, adding them to cooked turkey strips.

Here are a few tips on selecting and using berries. Strawberries don’t ripen off the vine. Look for bright red ones when buying them. The sweetest raspberries are the darker red ones. Although you won’t be able to tell until you get them home, blueberries should be firm to touch. Look to make sure there is no mold on the berries. They should be washed just before using them.

Helpful Hints

  • You can use any type of berries can be used.
  • You can use any type of salad greens can be used.
  • If cooked turkey breast isn’t available in the meat case, use cooked turkey breast from the deli.
