Homemade Blackberry Vinaigrette (My Way)
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 7 minutes
- Total Time: 12 minutes
- Yield: ± 1 cup
- Category: Salad Recipes
- Method: Easy
Description
This simple Blackberry Vinaigrette recipe uses just a few ingredients and blends into something silky and delicious. It’s a fun way to add something fresh to your kitchen. What’s your go-to salad topping?
Ingredients
- 2 cups blackberries (I used fresh, but frozen works too)
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (this helps it all blend, it won’t taste mustardy)
- 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (use less if you prefer it lighter)
Instructions
- Toss the blackberries, sugar, and water into a saucepan.
- Let it cook on medium heat for about 5–7 minutes.
- You want the berries to break down and release their juice.
- Let it cool a bit (warm is fine, just not boiling), then pour it into a blender or NutriBullet.
- Blend until it’s totally smooth.
- If your blender can’t break down the seeds well, you might want to pour it through a fine mesh strainer. I didn’t need to; mine came out perfectly smooth.
- Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and Dijon mustard straight into the blender.
- Blend again to mix it all up.
- Slowly pour in the olive oil while blending, until the dressing is creamy and silky.
- I used the full ¾ cup because I love the texture, but you can add less if that’s more your style.
- Use this on salads, grilled chicken, roasted veggies, anything that needs a pop of bright, berry goodness.
- Once you try it, store-bought dressings just won’t cut it.
