Hiya friends! We are back from a weekend away, visiting my brother and his family a little farther down South. It was such a fun time getting all the kiddos together and having some family time that was much overdue. But I’m once again in need of a weekday reset 😉

So today I’m bringing you a light, bright, amazing balsamic blueberry vinaigrette that’s super simple but so fresh and full of flavor. 

Homemade dressings are so much tastier than anything you can find in a store. They’re fresher and you get to control the ingredients.

Just check the ingredient label next time you go to buy a dressing at the store. It’s scary stuff!

So I switched to making my own several years ago and haven’t looked back.

Especially because it is SO easy! My homemade dressing recipes require a shake in a jar or a quick blend in the blender. That’s it!

Here, we’ve got just 5 wholesome ingredients: blueberries, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard and honey (plus salt and pepper but I don’t count those). Add everything to the blender, blend and you’re ready to go.

Here are a few other homemade dressing recipes I’ve made for you:

And I have several more dressings already featured within other recipes on the blog that I haven’t gotten around to making specific posts for yet. And other favorites to bring you down the road.

Sigh. So much food, so little time… 😉

But for now, get you some fresh summer berries and get to blending up this delicious blueberry vinaigrette! You’ll be ready to eat ALL the veggies!

Coming up later this week I’ve got one of my favorite summer salads to pair with this dressing. So addictive, in that really good, healthy way. 👍

Enjoy!

    Glad you had a fun time visiting your brother! Nice to get a little break every now and then, isn’t it? I’m totally loving this blueberry vinaigrette, Kathryn! I’ve been obsessed with blueberries lately so this is calling my name! And I don’t know if you know, but I’m a HUGE vinegar fan….HUGE. I agree, homemade dressings are so much better than anything you can buy in the store and I love how you can control the ingredients and know everything that goes in there….not to mention, pronounce it! The next time I have salad, I have to try this recipe for sure. Pinned 🙂 Have a lovely week, friend!. xo

      Thanks Dawn!! Glad I’m not the only one obsessed with blueberries… and didn’t know that about vinegar but I can see why! I’ve always got at least 4-5 kinds on hand cause they bring such great flavor to all kinds of recipes! XO

      Thanks Kathy! Once you get in the habit and see how easy and fast they are to whip up, I think it’s much easier to stick to homemade dressings.

      Thanks Carly! I LOVE my immersion blender for dressings and quick smoothies. I used it for baby food, too, when my kiddos were little. So quick and easy!
