Lemon Blueberry Vinaigrette

Lemon Blueberry Vinaigrette

They say that "necessity is the mother of invention", and this divine dressing was invented out of necessity. If you've been following this blog for a while you will already know that I'm ALL about eating a rainbow of veggies every day. Red, orange, yellow and green are no-brainers. But blue??? And if you have a little person incessantly pointing out your omission? I could have just tossed a handful of blueberries into my salad, but I only had frozen blueberries on hand... I had the unflinching gaze of a six year old on me and noting to lose... 

So this is what I came up with and it's DIVINE!!! It's sweet and tangy and vibrant and absolutely delicious. And it's packed with powerful phytonutrients. You have to try it!

Ingredients

1 generous cup frozen blueberries
Juice of one lemon
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
Salt and Pepper to taste

Method 

Blend all ingredients together until combined.

Serve with the salad of your choice - especially Rainbow Salads in desperate need of "something blue"!
