- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- ¼ cup fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped for garnish

Notes
- Add cucumbers for extra crunch and flavor.
- A squeeze of lemon juice will give it some zest.
- The red onion and mint leaves are optional. They’re great in this salad because they give and extra refreshing and slightly spicy flavor.
