Triple Berry Salad

This Triple Berry Salad with Lemon Poppyseed dressing is such a summer delight to enjoy or anytime berries are in season. It is SO easy to make. Melissa’s Produce makes it easy to stock up on berries too so you can enjoy this salad all spring and summer long. I will be enjoying this for as long as I can since August was a total bust for me with some fun tooth issues, so now I am ready to have ALL.THE.THINGS. I missed out on last month.

 Pinkglow Pineapple Rosé Gift Basket from Melissa's Produce!

Since we cannot actually travel to a tropical paradise right now, experience a taste of a remote tropical paradise on Valentine’s Day with your loved one by gifting a beautifully wrapped basketful of goodies.

This unique and rare sweet treat, the Pinkglow pineapple by Del Monte is the perfect way to pretend it’s not winter. Melissa’s pairs this crownless* pink-hued majestic wonder with Chocolate Bridge Mix of nuts, caramels, and dried fruit and an award-winning 2019 Rosé of Pinot Noir by Sonoma-Cutrer.

 Pinkglow Pineapple Rosé Gift Basket

The Pinkglow Pineapple has a delicious and unique taste, with notes of candy pineapple aromatics, which pairs perfectly with this Rosé from Russian River Valley. In the glass, the wine reveals a gorgeous, peony blush color and opens up to aromas of wild strawberry and pink grapefruit. On the palate, you will find the crisp flavor of watermelon, a hint of powdered sugar and just a slight glimmer of hibiscus tea.

Carefully crafted sugar-free milk and dark chocolate almonds and caramels, double dipped macadamias, and milk chocolate cashews balance out this basket of indulgence.

*Fresh Del Monte Produce is currently planting all Pinkglow™ pineapple crowns in an effort to increase the volume of Pinkglow™ pink pineapple crops and reduce waste.

Hawaii prohibits the shipment of any pineapple into their state.
