Goji Berry Salad Dressing

I eat a lot of salads and like the idea of making my own salad dressing!  This recipe incorporates goji berries ( a super food).  Goji berries are bright orange-red in colour; native to China.  They are often sold dried, like raisins.  The berries are high in anti-oxidants and are thought to have anti-aging benefits, boost immune system, protect vision and prevent heart disease:)

1/4 cup dried goji berries

2 tbsp freshly, squeezed lemon juice

1/2 tsp organic honey

1/4 cup good quality extra virgin olive oil

1/2 tsp lemon zest

Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper

1.  Fill small saucepan with water and ass goji berries.  Heat over med-high heat until goji are softened, (3-5 minutes).  Drain and reserve 2 tbsp liquid.  Place berries and reserved liquid into a blender.

Blend until smooth.

2.  In small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, honey, blended goji.  Slowly whisk in EVO.  Add lemon zest.  Season with salt and pepper.

Add a little water if necessary to thin out dressing.
