Blueberry Vinaigrette is a super easy, healthy, and delicious homemade salad dressing that will brighten up any salad!
Like I mentioned, I'm definitely on a homemade salad dressing kick. First, my strawberry vinaigrette, and now this blueberry vinaigrette. Spoiler alert: I have more salad dressing recipes coming!
Blueberry Vinaigrette is a crazy easy salad dressing to make. It only takes a handful of ingredients and a blender or food processor! Not only can it be used on a salad, but it's a delicious marinade for chicken and shrimp.
This delicious blueberry vinaigrette salad dressing is made with simple and fresh ingredients!
Blueberries - Fresh or frozen will work! I typically use fresh blueberries, especially during spring and summer months.
Olive Oil
White Balsamic Vinegar - white balsamic vinegar is a little more subtle than balsamic vinegar, and it keeps the dressing from looking too dark. If you can't find it, you can substitute it with regular balsamic vinegar or white wine vinegar.
Honey - for a little bit of natural sweetness. Maple syrup would also work!
Dash of salt
It's so simple! All you have to do to make this homemade salad dressing with blueberries is to add all of the ingredients to a food processor or blender and puree until everything is combined. This usually takes 1-2 minutes. Store in a mason jar, or any airtight container, in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Can I substitute different berries? Sure! This recipe would work well with raspberries and strawberries, too. I also have a Strawberry Vinaigrette recipe that is slightly different but another easy vinaigrette recipe.
Can I use a different kind of oil? I think this blueberry salad dressing recipe works best with extra virgin olive oil, but a light flavored oil like canola oil or avocado oil would also work well. In addition, you can use apple cider vinegar instead of white balsamic vinegar.
How long will this dressing last? This homemade blueberry vinaigrette will last 1 week in the refrigerator in an air-tight container.
How do you store blueberry vinaigrette? I store my homemade salad dressings in mason jars with lids in the refrigerator. I have a variety of sizes which works well for different amounts of dressing. I also have these jars which have a sealed wood lid that I like to store them in.
This simple blueberry vinaigrette recipe is super versatile and can be used with so many different types of salad greens and salad toppings. It's the perfect salad dressing for warm weather lunch or dinner on the patio!
Mixed greens with more blueberries, pecans or walnuts, blue cheese, and avocado. It is such a fresh and tasty salad!
