My" Berry Me" entry

First let me thank Redhot for the berry category. this made me do some research and learning. I never really thought berries and meat would mix well.
The results were fantastic.

The menu:
Avocado berry salad with a mango vinaigrette dressing. This is a non-cook item prepared by my wife, but carries the berry theme forward.

Thanks all
Some commentary.
The berry sauce for the pork was not too sweet because of the fresh thyme and sage.
The mango vinaigrette salad was outstanding.
The blueberry crisp should have had a side of vanilla ice cream.
