I have many salad dressing recipes, but somehow, I tend to get bored and am always on the look out for new ones. This is definitely one that I will be adding to my collection.
Blackberry Mint Vinaigrette
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small shallot, sliced
- 1 pint fresh blackberries
- ½ cup white balsamic vinegar (I like to use a peach white balsamic, but use whatever you have)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
- 2 tablespoons water
- ½ cup olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a medium pan over medium high heat. Add the shallots and cook until tender and beginning to brown, about 3-5 minutes. Add blackberries and cook until they start to soften, about 3 minutes. Once the blackberries are softened, add the white balsamic vinegar. Cook for 2 minutes, allowing the vinegar to reduce a little bit. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Combine shallot and blackberry mixture, sugar, mint, and water in a blender. Blend until smooth. Keep the blender on and add olive oil, pouring in a thin stream until it is all incorporated. If the dressing is too thick, add a little more water to thin to desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep refrigerated until serving.
