Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Measure out 2 cups of frozen blueberries and let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to slightly soften.
- Pour 1/2 cup of pomegranate juice into a measuring cup.
- Measure out 1 oz of cashews and 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds.
- Gather 2 tbsp and 1 tbsp of vinegar.
- Wash the 4 grapes thoroughly.
- Place the slightly softened blueberries into a blender or food processor.
- Add the pomegranate juice, cashews, and sunflower seeds.
- Pour in the 2 tbsp of vinegar, followed by the additional 1 tbsp of vinegar to ensure a balanced flavor.
- Finally, add the 4 washed grapes to the mixture.
- Blend all the ingredients together on high speed until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides if needed.
- Check the consistency of the dressing. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more pomegranate juice or a splash of water to achieve your desired consistency.
- Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add a little more vinegar for acidity, a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors, or a touch of sweetener if you prefer a sweeter dressing.
- Transfer the dressing to a serving container.
- Use immediately over your favorite salad or refrigerate for up to a week. Shake or stir well before each use as the ingredients may separate over time.
Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries for this recipe. If using fresh, you may need to adjust the blending time.
- Consider soaking the cashews and sunflower seeds in water for a few hours or overnight to make them easier to blend and achieve a smoother texture.
- For a thicker dressing, reduce the amount of pomegranate juice or add more cashews and sunflower seeds.
- Feel free to adjust the vinegar quantity according to your taste preferences. If you prefer a tangier dressing, increase the amount of vinegar.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, or even a touch of honey if you prefer a sweeter dressing.
