Red, White and Blue Salad

Pick up any of these ingredients at or at .

  • Greens, amount depends on number of guests (spinach or romaine or whatever other type of greens you desire)
  • Blueberries, 6 ounces (more or less depending on your taste and how many people you are serving)
  • Strawberries, One 1-pound container (sliced)
  • Raspberries, 6 ounces (you can use these instead of the strawberries, vice versa or use both)
  • White cheese, shredded or crumbled (crumbled feta or goat cheese work well. You could also go with crumbled blue cheese or shredded parmesan if guests want a stronger cheese; you may want to serve cheese on the side in case guests may have dairy allergies)

What are these "organizations that can assist educators in providing an additional incomeRead More source for school supplies?" What are the other "big retailers" besides Staples that are helping teachers with rewards programs? This is a great subject but there is little detail here beyond a link to the Staples program. Would love to read a follow up piece with more useful information.
