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

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fresh blackberries under cold water and drain well.

Step 2

Add the blackberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, water, salt, and black pepper to a blender or food processor.

Step 3

Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and no chunks of blackberry remain.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to your liking.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Transfer the finished vinaigrette to a glass jar or bottle and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Shake or stir well before serving. Use it as a salad dressing, marinade, or dip.
