Wash the fresh raspberries under cold running water and allow them to drain completely.
Peel and mince the garlic clove finely.
In a blender or food processor, combine the raspberries, extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, freshly ground black pepper, and water.
Blend the mixture on high speed for 30-45 seconds or until smooth and emulsified. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
If the vinaigrette is too thick, add additional water one teaspoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the sweetness or tanginess by adding more honey or vinegar if necessary.
Pour the vinaigrette into a clean jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Shake well before each use to ensure the vinaigrette is well mixed.
