Blueberries are at the peak of season in the summer, and while July is the official “Blueberry Month”, you can find delicious, plump, sweet blueberries from across the United States from May through August. Over the past few weeks, the blueberries in my area were not only very affordable but were packed with flavor. I picked up three pints and headed home to figure out what to make…
I decided to try making a salad dressing, or more precisely a blueberry vinaigrette. I started rummaging through my fridge and pantry to see what flavors would go well with all these blueberries. The main ingredients are simple: oil, vinegar, salt & pepper… I love fruity flavors paired with garlic and I also love tarragon and blueberry together with a sweet note. Went to work and I came up with Blueberry Tarragon Vinaigrette… the flavors are amazing. A little bit of lemon zest and a bit of honey really pulls all of the flavors together. Drizzle it over some fresh leafy greens and it’s like summertime in your mouth – Yum! Hope you enjoy it – comment below and let me know what you think…
