Transform your salads with the vibrant, tangy-sweet goodness of homemade Raspberry Vinaigrette Salad Dressing. This quick and easy recipe blends the natural tartness of fresh or frozen raspberries with the rich smoothness of olive oil, the zing of apple cider vinegar, and a touch of honey for balanced sweetness. A hint of Dijon mustard adds a subtle depth, while a pinch of salt and pepper ties everything together. Ready in just 10 minutes, this dressing is as versatile as it is flavorfulβperfect for drizzling over mixed greens, fruit-based salads, or even roasted vegetables. Customize the texture by straining for a silky finish or leaving it slightly textured with raspberry seeds. This delightful dressing is not only a feast for the taste buds but also a healthy, homemade alternative to store-bought options, staying fresh in your fridge for up to a week.
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 donβt 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.
