Berries and balsamic vinegar bring a touch of tartness to this naturally sweet dressing that pairs well with citrusy salads. Blended sweet potato creates a velvety texture that’s ideal for drizzling over a pile of greens, while a dash of poppyseeds delivers a subtle nutty flavor and delicate crunch. If you’ve never thought of yourself as a salad lover, you certainly will now—just whip up a jar of this healthy dressing and watch how fast it disappears!

Ingredients

  • 1 small sweet potato (4 oz.), peeled and cut into large pieces
  • ¼ cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • ¼ cup frozen cranberries
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon poppy seeds

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan combine sweet potato and enough water to cover. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes or until tender. Drain; rinse with cold water. Drain again.
  2. In a blender combine sweet potato, raspberries, cranberries, vinegar, syrup, and 1 cup water. Cover and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and blend to reach desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning. Stir in poppy seeds.
  3. Transfer dressing to a glass jar. Cover and chill up to 5 days.
