Yields1 Serving
Prep Time20 minsCook Time20 minsTotal Time40 mins
Dressing
 1 tsp sea salt
 1 tbsp tapioca starch
 3 tbsp olive oil
 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
 1 tsp dijon mustard
Salad
 3 sweet potatoes
 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
 10 ounce steaks
 1 pt diced
 1 cucumber, sliced thin
 1 cup blueberries
 8 cups salad greens
1

Place the fresh blueberries, water, and sugar in a saucepan over medium high heat.

2

Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes.

3

If desired, rim the glasses in sugar (I LOVE this simple addition to the flavor of the drink!) Simply press the top of the glass in a bowl of water and then the wetted top of the glass into a small bowl of sugar. Shake off the excess.

4

Fill up 4 glasses to the top with crushed ice - really pack in the ice!

5

Fill up the glass with the blueberry syrup. Allow the syrup to "settle" into the ice and then fill up the glass with Mandarine-Lime Sparkling Water.

6

Stir and add in some freshly squeezed lime.

7

If desired garnish the glass with fresh mint and a small skewer with blueberries.
