This Creamy Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing includes sweet raspberries and a classic vinaigrette to make a slightly fruity, tangy dressing. It goes perfectly with this Strawberry Summer Salad, but it also tastes great on other berry salads, cranberry walnut salads or grilled meats! It only requires 6 ingredients and can be made quickly in a food processor or blender for the perfect homemade raspberry vinaigrette!
WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED?
Raspberries. I prefer grabbing organic raspberries when I can afford them.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil. A good EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) is essential, but you can also substitute with Avocado oil if you want a lighter dressing.
Red Wine Vinegar. A little acidity for the classic vinaigrette taste.
Honey. To sweeten just a little bit.
Lemon Juice. Fresh squeezed lemon juice.
Salt & Pepper. Pepper is optional, but I like to include both.
WHAT ARE THE STEPS TO MAKE THIS VINAIGRETTE?
This dressing is super easy to make with only 2 main steps. Full instructions are included in the recipe card below, but here’s a quick overview:
Step One: Rinse your raspberries in a colander to remove any dirt or debris.
Step Two: In a food processor or blender add your raspberries along with the rest of your ingredients. Pulse for a few seconds then blend all the ingredients until smooth or until you reach your desired consistency. Drizzle Raspberry Vinaigrette over your favorite salad and store the rest.
STORAGE TIPS
Store fresh Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing in a mason jar with a tight lid. I prefer these smaller 8 oz mason jars for dressings. Store in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.

Tell me please, would this work with Macadamia Oil or Liquid Coconut Oil? Both are available in my Country with no nasties.

Hi Janet, I've never tried either of those oils with this recipe, so I really couldn't give a fair opinion.
