Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup mixed berries (raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, or strawberries), fresh or thawed if frozen
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 small shallot, finely minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon water (optional for thinning)
Instructions
- Blend the Berries: Add the mixed berries to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. For a smoother dressing, strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, ensuring a silky texture.
- Mix the Dressing: In a bowl or jar, whisk together the berry puree, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced shallot, salt, and black pepper until well combined, creating a balanced and flavorful dressing.
- Adjust Consistency: If the dressing is too thick, gradually add a tablespoon of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency, making it easy to drizzle over salads.
- Season to Taste: Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or honey according to preference.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the dressing for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully. Shake or stir well before serving and drizzle over your favorite salad for a refreshing burst of flavor.
Notes
- Use a mix of berries for a balanced sweet and tangy flavor.
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave.
- The dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Shake well before each use as separation is natural.
