Recipe tips

  • If using frozen raspberries, allow raspberries to thaw first. Be certain to keep all the juices that are released as the berries thaw and add to the dressing.
  • Raspberries vary in sweetness. Add an additional 1-2 teaspoons of honey if your berries are tart and you prefer your dressing a touch sweeter.
  • Use an immersion blender, a regular blender or a food processor to blend dressing
  • Most of the seeds disappear when blended. You may press the dressing through a fine sieve to remove all the seeds, if desired.

      Homemade salad dressings truly are the best - and they're so easy to make, too! However, I often forget this and end up using store-bought dressings. Since we're at the height of summer berry season right now, I need to make a batch of this raspberry vinaigrette - it sounds delicious, Kathy!
