Spring Berry Dressing

March 20, 2019 by christine

Happy first day of spring. It wasn’t very spring-like today with thunderstorms and hail! But I’m not complaining about getting rain and the sun should be back tomorrow. I am celebrating spring with this simple dressing. I love just about all berries, great in smoothies, oatmeal, and frozen in wine. They’re also great in a sweet salad dressing that everyone will love.

As much as I love berries, I’m terrible about buying them fresh and tend to stick to large bags of frozen berries from Costco or Grocery Outlet – ready for smoothies and this dressing and no worries about not getting to them in time.

Spring Berry Dressing

  • 1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries or mixed berries
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup shelled hemp seeds
  • 2 medjool dates, pitted
  • 2 tsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup water, as needed
  • salt and pepper to taste

Place all ingredients into a high speed blender and blend to a smooth and creamy texture. Serve and enjoy! Makes 4 servings.

A lot of fruit dressing recipes are also packed with sugar and oil, not great ingredients to pair with such a super food! This recipe gets a little sweetness flare from medjool dates and whole fat goodness from hemp seeds. And a fun, tangy flare from Dijon mustard.

The flavor combo is sweet, tangy, with a dash of savory and sings spring.

Make this creamy dressing for the whole family to appreciate.

Miko was very appreciative to share a little with me, he is a fan of carrots and kidney beans.

    I’m usually not big on fruity or sweet dressings, but this sounds like it would be worth a try!

      I hear ya, it seems like an interesting combo. But works so well with greens, carrots, and sweeter veggies.
