This simple and flavorful Blueberry Vinaigrette Dressing hits all the right notes Flavored with fresh, seasonal blueberries, it is light, refreshing, and a perfect balance of tart and sweet. I find myself swirling my index finger across my plate when all the lettuce is gone, savoring every last drop.

Just like our Apple Cider Vinaigrette, it adds a wonderful sweetness to salads and sandwiches, and it can also serve as a great marinade for fish or chicken. It's better than any dressing from the bottle. Try it on our Niçoise Salad!

    Hi Jackie wonderful post. Kieth definitely has that intuitive foodie thing. The dressing looks so refreshing and lite and lots of flavors wonderful for summer. I agree with you about waiting all winter long for these types of things and the longer days,
    paired with the colorful plates that grace our tables and pallets. Wonderful work you two!
    Have a stupendous week!
