RASPBERRY VINAIGRETTE

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.

Plan: (Standard & Maintenance)

Serving information: This recipe serves 8. One serving of  3 Tbsp. covers your fat (and only 1/8 a cup of fruit) for one meal.
