Salad dressing is one of those items that can be troublesome when trying to eat a healthy, anti-inflammatory lifestyle… but it doesn’t have to be. Vinaigrette’s are so easy and add a lot of variety. With frozen berries year-round, you don’t have to just limit yourself to fresh summer berries with this sweet and savory recipe. While a vinaigrette made with frozen, thawed berries is best in a blender, you can also just mash fresh berries for a chunkier texture. Raspberry flavor is great in a salad, but think outside the box and serve it over roasted or grilled vegetables (asparagus, green beans, butternut squash, etc.), grilled salmon or chicken. Brighten up a bowl of fresh-diced summer vegetables, as well.
INGREDIENTS
- 2/3 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1/3 cup Bragg’s apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive or avocado oil
- 1 Tbsp Swerve Confectioners sweetener
- 1 heaping tsp minced onion or shallot
- 2 tsps. fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
- Himalayan sea salt & pepper, to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
- Add all the ingredients except the oil either into a food processor or bullet/blender. You can either add the olive oil in a slow stream as the food processor blends in order to mix, or place the oil into your bullet/blender and blend or shake well.
- For a chunkier recipe, mash the berries with a fork, and them to a jar along with all the other ingredients and shake well.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy!
