Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams fresh raspberries
- 120 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 60 ml red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Place the fresh raspberries in a medium-sized bowl. Using a fork or potato masher, gently mash the raspberries until they are mostly broken down and juicy.
In a separate bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard. Whisk together until well blended.
Add the mashed raspberries to the oil and vinegar mixture. Stir gently to combine.
Add the salt and ground black pepper to the vinaigrette. Adjust to taste if necessary.
If the vinaigrette is too thick, add the water to thin it out, mixing well to reach desired consistency.
Pass the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl or jar to remove the raspberry seeds. Discard any solids left in the sieve.
Pour the vinaigrette into a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake well before serving. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Serve the raspberry vinaigrette over your favorite salad greens, such as mixed baby greens, spinach, or arugula.
