Ingredients
For the full list of ingredients and quantities for this Blueberry Cucumber Noodle Salad check the recipe card below.
- Blueberries: I use organic fresh and I think that is best for this blueberry cucumber noodle salad.
- Cucumber: I like to use organic especially because the skin is being consumed.
- Lettuce: I used spring mix but any type you like best will work, romaine or arugula would be delicious.
- Pure Maple Syrup: Make sure its pure maple syrup, not the kind with added sugars.
- Spicy Brown Mustard: This with the maple syrup give the perfect spicy and sweet but yet fresh tasting dressing.
Variations
- Switch it up: Not a fan of spring mix, switch it up to any greens you like such as, kale, romaine lettuce, butterhead lettuce, or arugula.
- Toppings: You could easily add some crunch here with some chopped walnuts or pecans. Sunflower seeds would also be great if you don't like nuts. Dried fruit like cranberries would also be a nice chewy addition.
