Blackberry Vinaigrette Salad
with Garden Vegetables
By The Gourmet Farm Girl
For the Dressing
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
1/4 cup Blackberry Balsamic vinegar (or regular balsamic)
2 Tablespoons honey or brown sugar (more if desired)
Or a sugar substitute such as Splenda
Pinch of sea salt and cracked black pepper
Assortment of fresh greens
1 small zucchini (sliced or chopped)
1 small red onion (sliced)
1 8 oz. package blue cheese
Feta or Goat cheese works well in this recipe also
1 small package fresh blackberries
Whisk the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.
Assemble the number of plates needed with the fresh greens; whisk the dressing again and drizzle over the salad. Top with the zucchini, red onion slices, blue cheese crumbles and a few fresh blackberries.
Store leftover dressing in a pint jar in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Warm to room temperature and whisk again or shake before serving.
