Cantaloupe with Chicken Salad
Country This recipe is one of my favorite ways to eat blueberries. That delicious fruit is just one of the important crops grown here in the fertile Willamette Valley. They're grown for commercial use, but we usually pick about 60 pounds each summer for pies and other dishes. SERVINGS: 6 CATEGORY: Main Dish METHOD: TIME: Prep/Total Time: 20 min.
