For a nut-free option, substitute the walnuts with toasted sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds. To enhance the blueberry flavor, you can macerate the blueberries in a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar for 15 minutes before adding them to the dressing. If you prefer a sweeter dressing, add an extra half teaspoon of honey. The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Be sure to shake well before using.
