Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 0.3333333333 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Wash the fresh raspberries thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a blender or food processor, combine the raspberries, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and ground black pepper.
Blend the mixture on high speed until it is smooth and creamy. If the vinaigrette is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water and blend again until you achieve the desired consistency.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding a bit more honey for sweetness or vinegar for tanginess according to your preference.
Strain the vinaigrette through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or container to remove any raspberry seeds for a smoother texture. Use the back of a spoon to press the liquid through the sieve if needed.
Transfer the finished vinaigrette to a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate until ready to use.
Shake well before serving. This vinaigrette pairs beautifully with mixed greens, fresh fruit, nuts, and a sprinkle of feta cheese.
