Creamy Blackberry Salad Dressing + Video
Description
The Creamy Blackberry Salad Dressing starts by pureeing blackberries with rice wine vinegar, vegetable oil, plain Greek yogurt, honey, and kosher salt to create a balance of fruity sweetness, acidity, and creaminess. After blending, the dressing is strained through a sieve to remove seeds, yielding a smooth texture. Chopped fresh or dried tarragon is whisked in at the end, delivering a gentle herbal note that blends well with the berries and vinegar.
This dressing offers a delicate contrast of tart and creamy flavors that complements fresh leafy salads. The yogurt provides a fatty texture but lighter than mayonnaise-based dressings, while honey balances the sharp vinegar and tangy berries. The mixture is best served chilled and stirred before drizzling over salad greens or used as a dip.
