You could add feta cheese for a touch of white??
Aimee Berrett says
Yeah Shan, I bet that would work great! I’m not a huge fan of string cheeses, but if you are then it would probably taste great!

We have a local fast food place that makes a mean Berry Salad–when I saw this on Pinterest, I knew I needed to re-pin and then stop over and say hello! I also wanted to let you know that I will be sharing this on my PINASTIC Friday post later today. Stop on over and say hello! I am now your newest follower!
Thanks,
Cindy @ crazyloucreations.blogspot.com
