It’s officially spring! At least, we think it is. Our Los Angeles weather is doing that crazy thing it does when cold, rainy days are followed by hot, sunny days. It’s a schizophrenic kind of season right now, so all we can do is go with it. The last few days have been gorgeous, light and bright. Just the kind of weather that dictates what you want to eat.

Is it too late to wish everyone a Happy New Year? Hopefully not. As we move tip toe towards the midpoint of January, it’s still crazy to think that the year 2013 is actually here.

If you’re thinking it’s about time, well, you don’t have to wait any longer.

You’re probably asking yourself if those are indeed blackberries in this salad. Yes friends. Those are blackberries. There were two recipes sitting in our shared vault of dishes to share, and this was one of them. Make that three if you count the strawberry shortcake Amir made last year. We have said numerous times that the days, and sometimes months, slip away from us, and we miss the prime opportunities to share recipes when they are timely an at their peak. In the end, we have determined that even an untimely recipe posts deserves its time in the spotlight. Especially if it is easy to adapt using ingredients that are more readily available. That is why this salad with blackberries is here today.
