Ingredients: 1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar; 3 tablespoons olive oil; 1 teaspoon honey; 1 5-ounce bag baby salad greens; 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 2 1/2 ounces); 1 1/2-pint container blueberries; 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted

Ann Gillespie of Alexandria, Virginia, writes: "Because I'm balancing graduate school and a family, I try to cook things that don't take a lot of time. But I love experimenting with ingredients, so most of my recipes are easy to make and use interesting flavor combinations. During the week, salads are our mainstay. When we get bored with veggies, we add different fruits, like the blueberries in the recipe here."
