Healthy red, white, and blue treats

This is one of those long weekends of summer that I truly look forward to. The county I live in has a fantastic fireworks show (the second largest display in our state, in fact). Plus it's just a great time to get together with family and friends. If you've got a 4th of July party to go to this weekend, consider bringing along a healthy and festive dish to pass. Some ideas:
- Blue corn chips and fresh salsa.
- A red, white, and blue veggie tray -- radishes, cauliflower, red pepper, purple pepper (it's close to blue anyway), cherry tomatoes, and so forth.
- Blueberries, strawberries, and star fruit make an all-American fruit salad
- Wrap turkey, tomato slices, low-fat cheese, and sprouts in blue corn tortillas -- cut them into small wedges for a tasty appetizer.

Yummy post! I made a red, white and blue fruit salad tonight but mine was blueberries, raspberries, and fresh pear cubes - mixed with a little blueberry kefir :)
