This homemade Blueberry Vinaigrette is not your average salad dressing! Made with fresh blueberries, honey, and few other simple pantry ingredients, this dressing is full of bright sweet flavors. Whether you drizzle it over a fresh green salad or you use it as a flavorful marinade, it’s sure to be a crowd pleaser!
I’m not sure if people know this, but I actually started A Southern Soul because of my vinaigrettes. I would make up all kinds of fun dressing recipes and then completely forget them, until my husband insisted that I start writing everything down. Eventually, those vinaigrette recipes became some of the first on the blog.
This is a vinaigrette I’ve been making for years, it’s super simple, flavorful, and versatile! Anytime you have a handful of extra blueberries, this easy salad dressing is the perfect thing to make. It’s especially good on spinach and grilled chicken with a few sprinkles of blue cheese.
This delightful, bright dressing is easy to make – just grab a mason jar, smash a cup of blueberries, pour your remaining ingredients in and shake. Boom! In no time, you’ve got a new dressing to help you stay on the road to happy, healthy eating.
