Absolutely divine! I was looking for some non-cake/cobbler ways to use blackberries, and this was one of my top picks to try. So glad I did! This vinaigrette is perfect! I served it over spinach with goat cheese and a dried fruit and nut mix. So good! Thanks!

Excellent vinaigrette, outstanding salad. I did my own candied walnuts with cinnamon and sugar. Yum! Thanks for sharing Erin. I will make this again for certain.
