Nothing elevates a salad quite like a flavorful dressing. Creamy Blueberry Balsamic Salad Dressing combines the sweet, fresh taste of blueberries with the tangy complexity of balsamic vinegar and a creamy texture that clings beautifully to greens. Whether drizzled over a fresh spinach salad, paired with strawberries and goat cheese, or tossed with mixed greens for a dinner party, this dressing transforms an ordinary salad into a gourmet experience.

This homemade dressing is simple to prepare yet sophisticated in flavor. The blueberries provide a natural sweetness while the balsamic vinegar adds depth and slight acidity, balanced by the creaminess from Greek yogurt or mayonnaise. Optional honey or maple syrup enhances the fruity sweetness without overpowering the tang.

The creamy blueberry balsamic dressing is versatile, nutritious, and visually stunning with a rich purple hue that’s perfect for both everyday meals and special occasions. It’s the perfect finishing touch for anyone looking to impress with a homemade salad dressing that tastes far better than store-bought versions

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise for richer texture)

• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

2. In a blender or food processor, combine blueberries, balsamic vinegar, Greek yogurt, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper.
3. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Adjust & Taste

4. Taste dressing and adjust sweetness or acidity as needed by adding more honey or balsamic vinegar.
5. If too thick, thin with 1–2 tsp of water or more olive oil for desired consistency.

7. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Shake or stir before serving.

Tips & Creative Notes

• Fresh Blueberries: Opt for ripe, sweet blueberries for best flavor.
• Greek Yogurt vs. Mayonnaise: Yogurt makes it lighter and tangier; mayonnaise gives a richer, creamier texture.
• Honey or Maple Syrup: Adjust sweetness to taste depending on the tartness of blueberries.
• Optional Add-Ins: Fresh mint, lemon zest, or a dash of Dijon mustard can add complexity.
• Presentation: Serve over a salad with contrasting colors like spinach, goat cheese, and walnuts for a visually stunning plate.
