Ingredients
- 1 (6-ounce) package of blackberries
- ½ tablespoon of lemon rind, grated
- 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
- ⅓ cup of red wine or apple cider or balsamic vinegar
- ¼ cup of olive oil
- 2 to 3 teaspoons of sugar (depending on your sweetness preference)
- Sprinkle of salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a food processor or blender, puree the blackberries.
- Add in the lemon rind, lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, sugar, salt and pepper. Blend for a few seconds until well-combined.
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: I 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.
