Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh black raspberries
- 0.33 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 small, minced garlic clove
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (optional, for thinning) water
Instructions
Rinse the fresh black raspberries thoroughly under cold water and set them aside to drain.
In a blender or food processor, combine the black raspberries, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Taste the dressing and adjust the sweetness or acidity by adding more honey or balsamic vinegar, if needed.
If the dressing is too thick for your liking, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time and blend until the desired consistency is reached.
Once blended, pour the dressing through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl or jar to remove any remaining seeds for a smoother texture (optional, but recommended).
Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or container with a lid. Store it in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Shake well before using and drizzle over your favorite salads or use as a marinade for meats and vegetables.
