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 hugebonus. So, you no longer have an excuse to buy it at the store.

Raspberry Vinaigrette Ingredients & Notes

Please check the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact quantities and detailed instructions(scroll down).

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.

How to make Raspberry Vinaigrette

Please check the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact quantities and detailed instructions(scroll down).

  1. Blend

    Combine raspberries, red wine vinegar, honey, salt, pepper, and basil in a blender or food processor. Process until well combined.

  2. Emulsify

    Drizzle in the oil with the food processor still running until the salad dressing comes together and emulsifies.

  3. Adjust Seasonings

    Taste and adjust to your liking if necessary. You can add more salt, pepper, vinegar, or honey. Allow flavors to blend at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.

Storing

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best oil to make this vinaigrette?

I recommend using mild-flavored oil, such as light oil, vegetable oil, canola oil, or soy oil, so the flavor of the oil won’t overwhelm the delicate raspberry flavors.

Why does my homemade vinaigrette solidify?

Olive oil is made with olives, and their skin has natural waxes that protect the fruit as it grows. This harmless natural wax is what make the vinaigrette solidify at low temperature. So this solidifying process is completely natural and doesn’t affect quality.

How to fix a solidified vinaigrette?

Let it sit on the counter at room temperature for about 10 – 15 minutes, then give it a good shake. If you are in a rush, you may also run the jar (with the lid on) under warm water to help expedite the process. It will be good as new!
