Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Place the fresh raspberries in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
Strain the raspberry puree through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove the seeds, pressing firmly with a spoon to extract the liquid. Discard the seeds.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the strained raspberry puree, balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and ground black pepper until well combined.
Add 1 tablespoon of water to thin the dressing slightly, and whisk until smooth. Adjust the thickness as desired by adding more water in small increments.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning, if necessary, with more salt, honey, or vinegar to suit your preference.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a sealable jar or container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, shake or stir the dressing to recombine. Drizzle over salads, use as a marinade, or enjoy as a dip.
