4 cups Florida leafy lettuce or arugula, hand torn
2 cups fresh Florida blackberries
1/4 cup Florida radish, rinsed and sliced thin

1 tablespoon fresh herbs, chopped fine (parsley, rosemary, thyme)
1 teaspoon fresh garlic, minced
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon stone ground or Dijon mustard
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
Add 1 cup of blackberries, vinegar, honey, herbs, mustard and garlic to a food processor or blender. Blend the ingredients on low speed or pulse and slowly add the vegetable oil until emulsified. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Transfer to a food storage container with a lid and keep cold until use. To assemble the salad, add leafy greens to a large serving bowl. Garnish the top of the salad with the remaining 1 cup of blackberries, blue cheese and sliced radish. Lightly dress the salad with the vinaigrette leaving most of the vinaigrette to serve on the side.
