Making this Blueberry Mint Sourdough Salad has been a delightful experiment in flavor pairing for me. The tartness of fresh blueberries harmonizes beautifully with the refreshing mint, creating an explosion of taste in every bite. I tried various herbs, but mint truly brings out the sweetness of the berries without overpowering them. Adding a squeeze of lemon juice enhances the brightness, making the whole dish sing!

As I perfected this recipe, I discovered that toasting the sourdough before adding it to the salad gives it a satisfying crunch. It’s amazing how such a simple step can elevate the texture and overall experience of this dish. My friends and family always ask for the recipe whenever I serve it, and now I’m thrilled to share it with you!

Toast the Sourdough

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the cubed sourdough bread on a baking sheet and toast for about 8-10 minutes until golden brown.

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a light dressing.

Combine the Ingredients

In a large bowl, gently toss the toasted sourdough cubes with fresh blueberries, chopped mint, and the dressing until everything is evenly coated.

Serve

Transfer the salad to a serving platter and enjoy immediately for the best texture.

This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a day.

Pro Tips
