Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Rinse the fresh raspberries under cold water and gently pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a blender or food processor, combine the raspberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and ground black pepper.
Blend the mixture on high until the raspberries have fully broken down and the mixture is smooth, about 30–45 seconds.
With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. This will help emulsify the vinaigrette and create a creamy texture.
Add the water to adjust the consistency. Pulse the blender a few times to incorporate the water fully.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or honey if needed.
Pour the vinaigrette through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl or jar to remove seeds for a smoother texture, if desired.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a clean jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
Shake well before serving. Drizzle over salads, vegetables, or use as a marinade. Enjoy!
