In this updated salad, dried blueberries add nutrients and flavor, and using buttermilk in the dressing keeps fat and calories down. Serve between whole-wheat or sunflower bread slices, and pack a handful of grapes or melon balls for a complete meal. To avoid soggy bread, store the salad separately until ready to eat.
