Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Rinse the fresh raspberries under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a blender or food processor, combine the raspberries, extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard.
Add the lemon juice, black pepper, and salt to the blender.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Stop the blender and taste the dressing. Adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
If the dressing is too thick, you can add a little water, one teaspoon at a time, and blend until you reach the desired consistency.
Once blended, transfer the dressing to a clean jar or airtight container.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Shake well before each use. Store in the refrigerator and use within one week.
