Summertime Blueberry Basil Vinaigrette

May 27, 2019


I hope every enjoyed their long weekend!

We’ve been working like crazy around the house redoing a few rooms and since the thrift shops were all 1/2 off for the holiday, I spent quite a bit of time pounding the pavement to find the best deals. I’m so excited to share with you the major changes we made to the nursery, Fox’s room, and the playroom!’

In the meantime, I couldn’t keep you in the dark about this fresh recipe we concocted in the kitchen earlier today.

We made a fresh salad with a Blueberry Basil Vinaigrette! Our entire kitchen smelled like a garden.

10/10 would make again!

Blueberry Basil Vinaigrette

Vinaigrette Ingredients

1/2 c blueberries
1 shallot, chopped
1 lemon
1/3 c white wine vinegar
5 basil leaves
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c olive oil
1/4 c water

Vinaigrette Directions

  1. Combine blueberries, shallot, vinegar, basil, salt, and water in blender.
  2. Add zest of whole lemon to blender.
  3. Quarter remaining lemon and add juice to blender.
  4. Pureé while slowly adding olive oil.

Drizzle over top salad of your choice. I poured over kale, blueberries, blue cheese crumbles, salted sunflower seeds, and julienned beets.

Enjoy!

    A Summertime Blueberry Basil Vinaigrette is a delicious and refreshing salad dressing that combines the sweetness of blueberries with the aromatic flavor of fresh basil. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can strain the vinaigrette through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any remaining solids. This step is optional and depends on your preference.

    This looks incredibly refreshing for summer. I’ve tried berry-based dressings before, but combining blueberries with fresh basil is something I haven’t thought of. I also like that the ingredients are simple and easy to find. The combination of sweet blueberries, lemon, and basil sounds perfect for salads, especially on warm days. Thanks for sharing such a creative recipe idea—I’m always looking for new ways to make homemade salads more interesting.
