This easy blueberry dressing with balsamic vinegar has only 5 ingredients but is still really flavorful. The combo of balsamic vinegar and blueberry makes a tart yet sweet dressing that goes with any greens and veggies. I highly recommend topping your salad with some pumpkin seeds (pepitas), corn, and cranberries. I hope you enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2186\" height=\"1457\" src=\"https:\/\/aspoonfulofsmiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/blueberry-dressing-salad-with-napkin-1-edited.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aspoonfulofsmiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/blueberry-dressing-salad-with-napkin-1-edited.jpg 2186w, https:\/\/aspoonfulofsmiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/blueberry-dressing-salad-with-napkin-1-edited-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aspoonfulofsmiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/blueberry-dressing-salad-with-napkin-1-edited-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/aspoonfulofsmiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/blueberry-dressing-salad-with-napkin-1-edited-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aspoonfulofsmiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/blueberry-dressing-salad-with-napkin-1-edited-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/aspoonfulofsmiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/blueberry-dressing-salad-with-napkin-1-edited-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2186px) 100vw, 2186px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you make this recipe?
