Easy Raspberry Vinaigrette Recipe Highlights
I think what makes a great salad is a kick-ass vinaigrette! I mean, sure, the greens, the veggies, the protein, and the 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, and it can be prepped ahead of time and tossed together just before serving. Anything to make things easier is a huge bonus. So, you no longer have an excuse to buy it at the store.
You’ll need:
Raspberries: You can use fresh or frozen. Red wine vinegar: You can substitute red wine vinegar for apple 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. Honey: You can substitute honey for maple syrup or agave nectar. Salt Black pepper Fresh basil leaves 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.
Best Oil for This Vinaigrette
Use mild-flavored oil, such as light oil, vegetable oil, canola oil, or soy oil, so the flavor won’t overwhelm the delicate raspberry flavors.
