10 blackberries, washed and crushed
1/4 c red wine vinegar
3/4 c extra virgin olive oil
1 t salt
1/2 t freshly ground black pepper
Whisk the crushed blackberries and vinegar together in a medium bowl.
Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Continue whisking the vinegar/blackberry mixture and drizzle in the oil in a
thin steady stream.
Start tasting the mixture when about half of the oil has been incorporated. You may need
to add more salt and pepper.
Keep whisking in oil until the vinaigrette tastes right to you. It should taste smooth
and slightly tart. If it is too sour, keep whisking in oil
Makes 2 servings.
These berries have a natural tartness which I find lends itself perfectly to a blackberry vinaigrette.
