This Raspberry Vinaigrette is ridiculously easy to make with a few pantry staples. It’s sweet, tangy, delicious, and will make an ordinary salad stand out.
Easy Raspberry Vinaigrette Recipe
I think what makes a great salad is kick-ass vinaigrette! I mean, sure, the greens, the veggies, the protein, and grains are important. But when it comes to pulling it all together a great vinaigrette, or dressing, is what you need to get the job done. And this Raspberry Vinaigrette gets the job done, for sure!!!
I love everything about this Raspberry Vinaigrette.
It has a beautiful reddish color.
It has a sweet and tangy flavor.
Best part? It’s super easy to make. So, you no longer have an excuse to buy it at the store.

What oil to use to make Raspberry Vinaigrette
Use a mild-flavored oil, such as light oil, vegetable oil, canola oil, or soy oil so the flavor won’t overwhelm the delicate raspberry flavors.
How to make Raspberry Vinaigrette
- In a blender or food processor combine raspberries, red wine vinegar, honey, salt, pepper, and basil. Process until well combined.
- With the food processor still running, drizzle in the oil until the salad dressing comes together and emulsifies.

STORING
My favorite part is that it can be prepped ahead of time and tossed together just before serving. Anything to make things easier is a huge bonus. Store the vinaigrette in a jar. It will keep for weeks in the fridge. Just let it come to room temperature, so the oil liquefies, and shake to combine.
