Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes! Making the dressing ahead of time is a great way to make meal prep quick and easy. This dressing keeps exceptionally well in the fridge for about 5 days.

Do I have to cook the blueberries?

A quick simmer helps release their juices and blend better with the vinegar, but you can skip cooking if you prefer a raw, fruitier flavor.

Can I use another sweetener instead of sugar?

Absolutely—honey, maple syrup, or agave are all great options. Adjust to taste since sweetness levels vary.
