Blueberry + Basil Vinaigrette – Easy Homemade Salad Dressing Recipe

Blueberry Basil Vinaigrette

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 3–4 fresh basil leaves
  • 2–3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar (or balsamic for a deeper flavor) – I have AVC
  • 1 tsp maple syrup or honey (optional, to taste) – I have neither, so I’ll use neither
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1–2 tsp Dijon mustard (for tang and emulsion)

Instructions:
Blend everything until smooth. Taste and adjust for sweetness, acidity, or salt. If it’s too thick, add a splash of water to thin it out. Store in the fridge for up to 3–4 days.
