[00:00:00]- Hey everybody, I'm Bobby Deen and I've got a really great recipe that I'm excited about today.

[00:00:04]It's a beautiful, fresh salad.

[00:00:07]This is one of my mom's recipes from her magazine, and I'm real proud of her for it 'cause the ingredients are just off the chain great.

[00:00:13]These are all things that I love, and I think you're gonna really like it too.

[00:00:17]So we'll start by taking our spring mix here and put it in a big enough vessel to be able to, we need a big bowl.

[00:00:28]And here we have exactly what the doctor ordered.

[00:00:33]To this, we're gonna add some red onion.

[00:00:37]Now, if you'd rather, you know, to personalize this for yourself.

[00:00:40]If you don't like red onion, some people don't.

[00:00:43]Some people like more, some people like less.

[00:00:45]You could use Vidalia, whatever's fresh.

[00:00:48]Yellow onion, whatever you want.

[00:00:51]I'm not gonna overdo it with the onion.

[00:00:53]Just my personal taste.

[00:00:55]Now, the blueberries, I'm gonna use 'em all.

[00:00:58]I love fresh fruits on a salad.

[00:01:00]It's such a nice, whenever I go to a restaurant and I get a salad that's got strawberries on it or blueberries, it's just a really, really good, I don't know, it's just kind of surprising 'cause you don't see it everywhere, and they're such great flavors together.

[00:01:17]The strawberries and the onion, the blueberries and the onion mixing together, really, really nice.

[00:01:23]So that's it.

[00:01:24]There's really not much more to it than that.

[00:01:26]I'm just gonna toss my ingredients together.

[00:01:30]Now here's the surprise, right?

[00:01:32]This is a collaboration recipe.

[00:01:34]My mom yesterday made in advance a blueberry barbecue sauce, and if that sounds great to you, you're right, 'cause I've already tasted it and it is scrumptious.

[00:01:45]The flavors are wonderful.

[00:01:47]It looks. - [Paula] It grows on you, don't it? - Oh, hey look who's here.

[00:01:50]It grew on me immediately, right when I tasted it.

[00:01:53]I was expecting, if you look at it, it looks like a cranberry sauce.

[00:01:57]It's warm.

[00:02:00]You serve this immediately right after you make it.

[00:02:03]It looks like it would be sweet.

[00:02:04]That's what you expect.

[00:02:05]But when you taste it, it's really savory and just wonderful.

[00:02:09]The blueberries are there, but the savory is full.

[00:02:11]- You know. - And the garlic, I taste in it right away.

[00:02:14]I mean it's just like really great.

[00:02:15]- Yeah.

[00:02:16]Well I was making it for you and I asked Theresa, I said, "I have no idea what he's gonna use this on."

[00:02:21]I would put that on a pork tenderloin when it came out of the oven.

[00:02:26]- [Bobby] And you would be right to do that.

[00:02:28]Yeah, that would be great.

[00:02:30]- So you know, there's a lot of different ways you can use it.

[00:02:32]- Well, I'm putting it on chicken so.

[00:02:36]I do already.

[00:02:40]So I've got my ingredients tossed together and I'm gonna make sure I got some blueberry, some strawberries, little onion in my spring mix here, all on my plate.

[00:02:54]And I'm gonna top it with a bit of toasted pecans, pecans, however you say that, you say it.

[00:03:03]So toasted pecans.

[00:03:07]Feta cheese.

[00:03:15]I forgot to do this when I was mixing the lettuces, but a little salt, little pepper.

[00:03:25]Toss it in with the lettuce and the fresh fruits.

[00:03:31]And also, I'm just gonna put a little bit of fresh pepper and fresh salt right on top of mine.

[00:03:39]Some shredded chicken.

[00:03:42]Mmm, man, this looks nice.

[00:03:45]Little hard boiled egg on the side would be good with this.

[00:03:50]You know, salads are, however you want to do it is how you should do it.

[00:03:57]We've got fresh white meat chicken here.

[00:04:00]And right on the top, our blueberry barbecue sauce.

[00:04:15]I don't wanna overdo it.

[00:04:17]That looks just right.

[00:04:22]And that is a beautiful barbecue blueberry salad.

[00:04:27]Unexpected but wonderful.

[00:04:30]And I'm telling you that barbecue sauce is oh so good.

[00:04:44]Mmm.

[00:04:46]Mmm, mmm, mmm.

[00:04:49]It's great on this salad, like mom said, it would be great on a pork tenderloin, maybe even a pork chop.

[00:04:53]Put that wherever you like.

[00:04:55]Beautiful salad, I think you're really gonna like it.

[00:04:57]It's the barbecue blueberry salad, so enjoy.
