Blueberry Vinaigrette Salad Dressing
Everyone knows that the strength of a salad lies in its dressing. Which is why it’s weird that for most of my life, I relied on the store-bought stuff to spruce up my greens. But then I moved to Europe where things just taste a little different, and I found myself craving some of the dressings I grew on in America.
So in the name of using our seasonal summer fruit to make a classic salad dressing, today we’re whipping up a simple and delicious Blueberry Vinaigrette Salad Dressing!
To make this Blueberry Vinaigrette Salad Dressing you’ll need:
- 1 cup fresh blueberries mashed
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- ½ cup olive oil

I’ve made this salad dressing (and various versions of it) for years, but I always whisked the ingredients together by hand. The result is an easy dressing that eventually separates back into oil and vinegar layers. But on a whim, I broke out the Vitamix on a recent batch and blended together the ingredients. I have no other words but…whoa.
Blending together the blueberry vinaigrette produced a creamy, velvety dressing that kept its emulsion and made for a healthy alternative to cream-based dressings. So if you’re ready to kick your summer eating up a notch, give this Blueberry Vinaigrette Salad Dressing a go!

The recipes on this blog are tested with a conventional gas oven and gas stovetop. It's important to note that some ovens, especially as they age, can cook and bake inconsistently. Using an inexpensive oven thermometer can assure you that your oven is truly heating to the proper temperature. If you use a toaster oven or countertop oven, please keep in mind that they may not distribute heat the same as a conventional full sized oven and you may need to adjust your cooking/baking times. In the case of recipes made with a pressure cooker, air fryer, slow cooker, or other appliance, a link to the appliances we use is listed within each respective recipe. For baking recipes where measurements are given by weight, please note that results may not be the same if cups are used instead, and we can’t guarantee success with that method.
