Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.33 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Rinse the fresh blueberries under cold water and drain them well.
In a blender or food processor, combine the blueberries, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and water.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and emulsified. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or maple syrup if desired to achieve the desired balance of flavors.
Strain the vinaigrette through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or jar to remove any blueberry skins for a smoother texture. This step is optional but recommended.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a lidded jar or container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Shake well before serving. Drizzle over your favorite salads, roasted vegetables, or use as a marinade.
