As a kid, my family had a traditional Fourth of July BBQ. Every year we would grill up some hamburgers and chicken legs, make a big bowl of coleslaw and a big hand-tossed salad. And with the Huckleberry Vinaigrette by Huckleberry Haven that salad is more Montanan than ever before! Your guests will love that sweet yet zesty accent the Huckleberry Vinaigrette adds to any salad. Mix in some dried huckleberries, a little feta and maybe even some honey-roasted peanuts for a truly delicious side-dish!
