Notes
Choosing the berries: The flavor varies based on the berry ripeness. The riper they are, the sweeter the dressing. The less ripe, the more tart. So choose accordingly (if berry picking).
Allow the flavors to meld: We highly recommend preparing it at least 30 minutes before serving for the best flavor.
Tweak the flavors: Prepare the dressing fully and leave it to rest, then taste and adjust any ingredients. E.g., more lemon, vinegar, sweeteners, etc.
Seeds vs. No seeds: A high-speed blender should pulverize the seeds. However, if you prefer the berry vinaigrette to be 100% seed-free, strain the dressing (minus the oil) through a fine-mesh sieve/nut milk bag, then whisk in the oil.
