  2. Drizzle blueberries with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons honey on prepared pan; toss to coat. Arrange blueberries in a single layer. Sprinkle with lemon zest. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until juices are slightly thickened and blueberries start to burst, stirring once. Cool completely.
  3. Place the blueberries, lemon juice, champagne vinegar and remaining honey into a food processor; cover and process until mixture is combined. While processing, slowly drizzle in remaining olive oil until blended. Season with salt and pepper.
