Blueberry Lemon Vinaigrette

Salads.
In this unusual recipe created to top a warm but not hot fillet of sole, tiny blueberries are studded throughout a vinaigrette that also includes shallots, tomatoes and basil. The combination enhances the simple sole with lovely color and flavor, notably the pleasing acidic bursts from the tiny, tart berries. The dressing also marries well with rock lobster tails or langoustine tails.
