I promise you won’t miss a thing with this Goddess blackberry balsamic vinaigrette in your back pocket. I mean, just look at that color!
It keeps well stored in a glass jar in the refrigerator for a few days, the perfect compliment to a big bowl of bitter, dark leafy greens like arugula and spinach.
Not sure If I got extra lucky or the blackberries are really showing off this time of the year. Sweetness and fruitiness like you won’t believe, I didn’t even add any extra sweetener to the dressing. You might actually want to balance it out with a squeeze of lemon. Whatever the case, you need this in your life!
