I wanted to try using blueberries in a homemade salad dressing, so I took out the food processor and tossed them in, along with a few more traditional ingredients. The result was good, but very tangy. It is certainly less sweet than the strawberry balsamic dressing, but of course it depends on the ripeness of the fruit. The salad itself was very simple – green leaf lettuce with shredded Parmesan cheese, but I should have thrown a few whole blueberries in as well. Next time!

1/3 c. blueberries
1 T balsamic vinegar
1 t lemon juice
1 t olive oil
1/8 t thyme

Mix ingredients in a food processor.
