Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (about 70 g) raspberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) red wine vinegar
  • 2-3 tablespoons (30 - 45 ml) honey
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup fresh basil leaves (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) olive oil (I used light tasting oil)

Instructions

  • Combine raspberries, red wine vinegar, honey, salt, pepper,and basil in a blender or food processor. Process until well combined.
  • Drizzle in the oil with the food processor still running until the salad dressing comes together and emulsifies. Taste and adjust to your liking if necessary. You can add more salt, pepper, vinegar, or honey.
  • Transfer to an airtight container or mason jar. Then cover with a lid and store in the fridge until ready to use.
  • Shake the dressing just before serving, then drizzle over your favorite salad.

Notes

 
Store the vinaigrette in a jar. It will keep well for 5 - 7 days in the fridge. Just let it come to room temperature (so the oil liquefies ) and shake to combine.
