Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 0.25 cup white wine vinegar
- 0.5 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 to 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
- pinch salt
- pinch pepper
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In your blender or food processor, combine 1 cup fresh (or thawed frozen) raspberries, 0.25 cup white wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup), 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Blend Until Smooth: Process until the mixture is completely smooth and a vibrant hot pink.
- Stream in Oil: With the blender running on low, slowly drizzle in 0.5 cup olive oil. Continue until the vinaigrette is emulsified and creamy. (If the dressing separates, add another 0.5 teaspoon of Dijon mustard and blend again briefly.)
- Stir in Poppy Seeds and Adjust: Pour the vinaigrette into a bowl or jar, then gently stir in 1 to 2 teaspoons of poppy seeds until evenly distributed. Taste and adjust for sweetness, tang, or seasoning.
Notes
For a rustic vinaigrette, mash raspberries with a fork and whisk vigorously if you do not have a blender. For a low-carb option, use a sugar substitute. This dairy-free dressing pairs well with grilled chicken or fish.
