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

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fresh black raspberries thoroughly under cold water and set them aside to drain.

Step 2

In a blender or food processor, combine the black raspberries, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Taste the dressing and adjust the sweetness or acidity by adding more honey or balsamic vinegar, if needed.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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).

Step 7

Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or container with a lid. Store it in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Step 8

Shake well before using and drizzle over your favorite salads or use as a marinade for meats and vegetables.
