Prep Time:5

Total Time:5

Equipment

1 immersion blender or blender/food processor
1 wide mouth mason jar quart-sized

Ingredients

1 cup blackberries washed and dried
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tbs maple syrup
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

Place all of the ingredients in your mason jar.
1 cup blackberries, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 1 tbs maple syrup, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1/2 tsp kosher salt
Insert the immersion blender and briefly pulse to start breaking down the blakberries.
Blend all of the ingredients until smooth and creamy.

Notes

Since it is made with fresh fruit, this blackberry vinaigrette can last for approximately 4-5 days in the fridge.

Feel free to add a handful of your favorite fresh herbs, like mint or basil, for extra flavor.
If using frozen blackberries, be sure to let them thaw and drain off the excess liquid. I throw mine in a small bowl and set them in the fridge to thaw overnight.
You can easily substitute any other vinegar or acid. It's great with apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, lime juice, and more!
For a marionberry vinaigrette, replace the blackberries with marionberries!
If you don't have maple syrup on hand, agave syrup is another natural sweetener that works well in dressings like this.
No immersion blender? Use your food processor or blender to mix accordingly and transfer to an airtight container for storage.
Don't have any large pint or quart mason jars? Place all your ingredients in the blender.
