This super simple Blueberry Vinaigrette only requires 5 simple ingredients! It’s a sweet dressing that is a household favourite! This homemade vinaigrette comes together in only a couple of minutes and brightens up any salad.

There’s nothing better than a homemade salad dressing! You’re able to make just what you need and you don’t end up with multiple half-emptied bottles taking up precious space in the fridge. This is an easy vinaigrette that I love to whip up whenever I have some leftover blueberries kicking around in my fridge.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Ingredients needed to make blueberry vinaigrette.

blueberries — always wash your fruit first. Here’s how I wash and store my blueberries before using.
apple cider vinegar — you’ll need an acid to make a vinaigrette. I use apple cider vinegar for this recipe to add tang and flavour.
maple syrup or honey — to sweeten
salt — just a pinch. a little goes a long way.
olive oil — for dressings, I recommend using a high-quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavour.

How to Make a Blueberry Vinaigrette

Blender with ingredients for blueberry vinaigrette.

Add all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
Store in an airtight container if you’re not using it immediately.

Subsitutions

apple cider vinegar: if you do not have ACV, then try using red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar, or if you don’t have any of those, sherry vinegar.
maple syrup: honey is a great alternative if you do not need this salad dressing to be plant-based/vegan. Agave can be used as well.
olive oil: if you prefer to use a different neutral oil you have on hand, you are more than welcomed to do so.

Storage Tips

I recommend using the blueberry vinaigrette within the week.
If it has set in the fridge, simply give it a stir or whisk a bit of olive oil in to loosen the dressing.
Store the blueberry salad dressing in an airtight container such as a mason jar.
Since this recipe doesn’t take a lot of effort to make, I do not recommend freezing it. However, if you have a ton of strawberries, you could freeze those instead and then use it for the dressing year round.
