Description
A fresh and tangy homemade raspberry vinaigrette that’s quick to make and full of fruity flavor. This vibrant pink dressing is perfect for salads, grain bowls, or as a glaze for grilled chicken or seafood. It’s naturally sweetened and made with real ingredients—no additives, just wholesome goodness.
Ingredients
1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
1. Add raspberries, red wine vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), and Dijon mustard into a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth.
2. While the blender is running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to emulsify the dressing.
3. Stop and taste; season with salt and pepper. Blend again briefly.
4. (Optional) Strain the vinaigrette through a fine mesh sieve if you prefer a seedless texture.
5. Pour into a glass jar or bottle, seal tightly, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using. Shake well before each use.
Notes
Use thawed raspberries if using frozen, to ensure a smoother texture.
Shake vigorously before each use, as natural separation is normal.
For a sugar-free version, replace honey/maple syrup with monk fruit or stevia.
