Elevate your salad game with this tangy and sweet Raspberry Vinaigrette made effortlessly using a Good Seasons Italian Dressing Mix. Bursting with vibrant flavors from red wine vinegar, raspberry preserves, and a hint of fresh lemon juice, this homemade dressing is perfectly balanced with a touch of olive oil for creaminess and optional fresh raspberries for texture and garnish. Ready in just 10 minutes, this quick and versatile vinaigrette pairs beautifully with mixed greens, spinach salads, or even as a flavorful marinade. Perfect for meal preppers, it keeps well in the fridge for up to a week, ensuring fresh, gourmet flavor on hand anytime you need it.
In a medium-sized bowl or a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the Good Seasons Italian Dressing Mix and water. Stir or shake until well dissolved.
Add the raspberry preserves, red wine vinegar, olive oil, and fresh lemon juice to the mixture. Whisk or shake vigorously until fully blended and emulsified.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting as needed to balance sweetness and tanginess.
If using fresh raspberries as garnish, gently mash them into the vinaigrette for added texture and flavor, or use them whole as a topping for your salad.
Serve immediately over your favorite salad, or transfer the vinaigrette to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week. Shake well before each use.
