Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (about 5 oz. or 1/2 pint)
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar (or balsamic)
  • 2-3 Tbsp. fresh basil
  • 2 tsp. pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1/8 tsp. salt

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a small high-speed blender. Blend for 20-30 seconds until smooth.
  • Taste and adjust flavor if desired. (More syrup for sweeter, etc.)

Notes

Yield: Recipe makes about 1 cup dressing.
Storing: The texture is best when fresh, but it can be stored in a sealed jar or airtight container in the fridge. It keeps for about 4 days.
Thickness note: This dressing thickens as it sits, and becomes more of a gel-like consistency. So give it a stir before serving.
Creamy version: Stir in 1/4 cup dairy-free yogurt.
Make it sweeter: This dressing is more tangy than sweet as written. To make it sweeter, decrease the vinegar and/or increase the maple syrup.
