Notes
- How to blend it: I use the mini food processor that came with my Breville stick blender. It's brilliant. Alternatively just use an ordinary stick blender.
- Getting the right consistency: Sometimes I add a little more water to get the right pourable consistency. Alternatively, if you'd prefer to use this as a dip, skip the water altogether or add less until you get a mayonnaise-like consistency.
- How to serve it: I think this vinaigrette goes really well with simple salads e.g. a baby spinach or kale salad. I also think it goes well with the following on a salad: bacon, chicken, other fruit (peaches, mandarins, strawberries), cheese (any, but especially feta, goat cheese, blue cheese), avocado, nuts (any, but especially hazelnuts, pistachios, walnuts).
- I usually make it to go with this spinach blueberry salad with bacon and avocado.
- If you want to make more: This recipe makes about the right amount of dressing to go on a salad for two. But of course it's easy to make enough for more people, or for more than one salad. Simple double, triple or quadruple the ingredients for more.
- How to store: As this recipe contains fresh blueberries, the dressing won't keep for as long as some other vinaigrettes. Still, if stored in a sealed container or covered well, it will keep for about a week in the fridge. I like to store mine in a sealed glass jar so that it's easy to shake up before serving.
- Perhaps surprisingly, you can also freeze it. Just pour into a sealed container and freeze for up to 6 months. After defrosting, whisk again with a mini whisk or even a fork. Alternatively pulse briefly again in a mini food processor.
