Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh blackberries
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Wash the blackberries and basil leaves thoroughly under cold running water.
In a blender or food processor, combine the blackberries, basil leaves, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If the vinaigrette is too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to achieve the desired consistency.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning if needed by adding more salt, pepper, or honey to balance flavors.
Pour the vinaigrette through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl or bottle to remove any remaining pulp for a smoother texture.
Store the vinaigrette in an airtight container or jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Shake well before using.
