Simply Sugarless: Blueberry Balsamic Salad Dressing

6/29/2016

 
Picture
Welcome to Simply Sugarless, our monthly sugar-free recipe column written by Starr Struck's own Sara Meeks. Once per month, Sara picks a "regular" recipe and adapts it into a sugar-free version of that same recipe using only natural sweeteners (fruit, sweet veggies, etc.). A perfect option for those trying to eat less added sugar on a daily basis...

This might be surprising given my friends (i.e. Mary Catherine), but I’m not much of a salad person. I don’t know what it is, I just never crave those leafy greens. When I eat them, I love it, but getting the motivation up to build my own creation is quite the challenge. And have you noticed how much sugar is in store-bought dressings? It’s crazy. But who has time to make your own?

All of us, it turns out. This super fast, sweet, delicious dressing can be made in just five minutes. Even I can get behind that.

Enjoy!

BLUEBERRY BALSAMIC SALAD DRESSING
Cooking time: 5 minutes total time
Yield: 1 cup of dressing

Ingredients:
  • 1/3 cup fresh blueberries 
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar 
  • 1/4 cup olive oil  
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions:
  • Blend blueberries, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and mustard together in a blender until dressing is smooth
  • Season with salt and black pepper.
  • Pour dressing over salad and toss to coat. My salad of choice? Spring green mix with strawberries, blueberries + goat cheese.

Oh my goodness, this *does* sound super easy! And as a TOTAL salad-lover who actually does make salad dressing (it's one of the few things I'll make time for in the kitchen...although Ben is still the rockstar when it comes to this task in our household), I am definitely going to give it a try. 

Thanks for sharing, Sara!
