    Blackberry Vinaigrette

    Yield – About 1 1/2 cups

    Preparation Time – 15 minutes

    Cooking Time – 0 minutes

    Ingredients

    • About 3/4 cups blackberry “juice”/puree ($1)
    • 1/2 cup red wine vinegar ($.30)
    • 1/3 cup olive oil ($.60)
    • 1 Tablespoon sugar or desired sweetener ($.01)
    • Salt and pepper, to taste

    Directions

    • Blend about 1 1/2 cup blackberries until a juice or puree forms.  Pour in 1/4 cup of water while blending if necessary, to form the puree.

    • Place the pureed blackberries into a strainer and stir around and press until the juice falls through.

    • And you’re just left with the pulp.

    • Take the strained juice and add it to a container with lid that you can shake vigorously.  Add the vinegar, olive oil, sweetener and some salt and pepper.

      Looks delicious! I’ll have to keep this recipe in mind for when we pick blackberries in July.

      I’m a huge Balsamic vinegar lover, so that’s what I’m going to use in the Blackberry Vinaigrette recipe!

      This is a little off topic, but I was wondering what blender you have. I’m thinking of buying vitamix or a blendtec later this year, but can’t decide which one. I noticed your blender is square, which could be either. Whichever it is that you own, do you like it, are there drawbacks, etc. I just hate to spend that much money without doing my research first. Thanks!!

      I made this dressing (mine is much darker and inkier). Very nice on a salad of romaine lettuce, chopped apricots and shredded cheese. It paired nicely with pasta alfredo and cut the creamy-tasting sauce. Thanks!

      I used balsamic and honey… poured over a bed of mixed greens, strawberries, a few almonds and topped it with a few thin slices of parmesan reggianno… excellent! The flavors blended very well… I think crumbled feta might work nicely as well. Healthy and great taste… you can’t ask for more than that.

      This actually works great for a chicken grill sauce. Use it to finish your chicken on the grill just like you would use a bbq sauce.

    I have a little problem. I cannot make a meal that costs more than $5. It’s unnatural, but my pocketbook thanks me.
