Delicious Blueberry Salad Recipe

Blueberry Salad is really amazing. I can't praise it enough. It's a chilled salad made with blueberry pie filling, crushed pineapple, and grape Jell-O mix. After it sets in the fridge or freezer, a creamy layer of cream cheese and sour cream is added, making it incredibly delicious.

It's a fun and fruity salad, perfect for picnics, barbecues, potlucks, or any gathering. Although it's gluten-free, it's not exactly healthy because both the pie filling and Jell-O use cornstarch as a thickener. Blueberry Salad is rich and tasty enough to be served as a dessert.

I used to make this salad often when I catered salad luncheons for the Baptist Convention of New England in the 1990s. People always loved it, and once you try it, you'll understand why. It has the best flavors, with the pineapple and blueberries providing texture and the cream cheese layer adding a great contrast in flavors.
