Huckleberries in a vinaigrette makes one of the most wonderful tasting vinaigrettes! One of the first times I ever tried it was at a restaurant owned by one of my friend. She has a specialty salad where she added huckleberry vinaigrette over a bed of lettuce, candies pecans and dried cranberries. It was delicious.
Of course, when I finally found a good recipe, I saved it to share here:
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup or so of huckleberries
- 2 tbsp raw honey
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- pinch of salt
- 3/4 to 1 cup of olive oil
Instructions
- In a small food processor, mix the huckleberries, honey, vinegar, and salt. Pour the mixture into a bowl and then whisk in the olive oil. The mixture will separate as it sits so just make sure to whisk it up before putting on your salad.
But, if you want to serve huckleberry vinaigrette on your salad, you can just purchase a bottle of my favorite from our Tastes of Idaho website:
Perhaps the most delicious salad dressing on the planet! (I have to take my Mom a bottle every time I got to visit.) Perfectly flavored and blended, and a great regular stock item in your fridge, or as a specialty treat during the holidays or other special occasions. Stylish 8.5-ounce bottle, and great labeling.
Made in north Idaho where the huckleberries grow wild!!
