Budah joined Chef Kimberly Stratton in the kitchen today to learn how to make a delicious blueberry beet dressing. Chef Kimberly loves to cook for parties and likes to make it fun by sending her guests home with a succulent. She is a big fan of using things she already has in her garden or house.

Using a food processor, she blends together beets, blueberries, and a few other ingredients to make a summer salad dressing guests will love. It can be served with any kinds of garden greens.
