YAY! You’re done! Congratulations and hurrah!
AND you’re going on a cheese retreat. What better way to celebrate? I’m incredibly jealous. You deserve it, girl!
Fruit in salad is the best. So you can keep the best parts of Whole 30 with you and still get cheese!

Congrats on finishing the Whole30 month…that is awesome! But let’s talk about this amazing berry salad. It has all of the best of summer in it, and I could totally imagine a big bowl of that in my fridge right now. 🙂 I’ve never thought about putting salad dressing on a fruit salad…but I’ll have to give that a shot. I love Newman’s Own dressings!
