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.

Raspberry Vinaigrette Ingredients

You’ll need:

• Raspberries, fresh or frozen
• Red wine vinegar
• Honey
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Fresh basil leaves
• Oil  (I used light tasting olive oil)

Please check the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact quantities and detailed instructions (scroll down).

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.

Store-bought? Never again.

Oriana's Notes

 

VINEGAR: You can substitute red wine vinegar for cider vinegar, white wine vinegar, or rice vinegar. Just try to avoid plain distilled white vinegar. It has a very strong, harsh flavor that isn’t generally very good in vinaigrettes.

 

OIL: 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. 

 

STORE  fresh-made vinaigrette in a covered container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Whisk before serving.
