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. For example, more lemon, vinegar, sweetener, etc.
