- 1.5 cups fresh raspberries
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/3 cup olive oil or grapeseed oil
- 3 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1/3 cup plain yogurt*
- 1 to 3 Tbsp honey to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt to taste
Heat the raspberries and 1 tablespoon of water in a small saucepan over medium heat, covered.
After a couple of minutes, juices will begin seeping out of the raspberries. Use a fork to mash the raspberries and allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil.
Remove the cover from the saucepan and allow the mixture to gently bubble for a couple of minutes, ensuring the raspberries are completely softened. Add the honey and stir to combine.
Pour the raspberry mixture into a bowl or container and place it in the refrigerator until completely cold.
Using a fine strainer, strain the raspberry mixture into a bowl, separating the pulp from the syrup. Press the raspberry pulp into the strainer to get out as much liquid as possible. Save the raspberry pulp for a smoothie or to put on ice cream later, and use the raspberry syrup for this dressing.
In a small blender (I used my magic bullet), combine all of the ingredients, including the raspberry syrup. Blend until completely combined and creamy. If you don’t have a blender, you can whisk all of the ingredients together in a bowl vigorously.
Taste the raspberry dressing for flavor and add more honey (or sweetener of choice) until it reaches your desired level of sweetness. I recommend 1 to 3 tablespoons to start out. Add more sea salt if desired.
Use creamy raspberry vinaigrette on your favorite salads!
*I used whole milk yogurt, which I recommend because it makes a creamier flavor and texture than low-fat. Refrigerate in a sealed container for up to one week.
Store Raspberry vinaigrette in an airtight container such as a mason jar in your refrigerator for up to 1 week.
