Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Rinse the fresh blackberries under cold water and drain well.
Add the blackberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, water, salt, and black pepper to a blender or food processor.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and no chunks of blackberry remain.
With the blender still running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. This will help emulsify the vinaigrette and create a smooth, creamy texture.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to your liking.
Strain the vinaigrette through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or jar to remove any seeds, if desired. This step is optional but ensures a smoother texture.
Transfer the finished vinaigrette to a glass jar or bottle and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Shake or stir well before serving. Use it as a salad dressing, marinade, or dip.
