Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh or frozen raspberries
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
If using frozen raspberries, allow them to thaw at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
In a blender or food processor, combine the raspberries, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and water.
Blend the mixture until completely smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning if needed. Add a bit more honey for extra sweetness, or additional vinegar for more tang, based on preference.
If you prefer a smoother dressing, strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the raspberry seeds. Skip this step if you don’t mind a slightly textured vinaigrette.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate until ready to use.
Shake well before serving and drizzle over your favorite salad. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
