Imagine that you are sitting on a deck overlooking the ocean, enjoying some time away from the everyday with your family. Now imagine that your entire family is sitting on this deck together enjoying a delicious dinner together after a fun day on the beach. And to take it a step further, imagine your family enjoying a delicious Blueberry Balsamic Salad, some tasty grilled chicken and freshly sliced watermelon together. Sounds pretty amazing, doesn’t it?

Let me reel you back in for a moment to talk about the purpose of this post. First, let’s rewind to my mention of that tasty Blueberry Balsamic Salad. Sweet and tart all in one bite and oh-so-fresh. I love to bring this salad to all of my summer cookouts and family gatherings because it really does scream summer. The white balsamic vinegar offers a cleaner and crisp taste over a traditional balsamic vinegar. It complements the sweetness of the blueberries and brings together all of the flavors on your palate to satisfy all of your summer flavor cravings.
