Make Your Own Raspberry Vinaigrette Recipe

Raspberry Vinaigrette Salad Dressing is my husband's favorite. Because of his thyroid condition, however, he needs to cut all soy from his diet and most salad dressings are made of soybean oil, which isn't all that healthy anyway. Commercial salad dressings are filled with additives, chemicals, preservatives and other unhealthy ingredients as well.

It's so easy to make your own raspberry vinaigrette recipes. All you need is a blender or even a small mixing bottle like the Norpro Salad Dressing Maker with Mixer to shake up your ingredients. 

Here's a simple Raspberry Vinaigrette Recipes that is healthy.

Salad Dressing Ingredients

3/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar or raspberry vinegar
1 tsp salt
2 tbs honey
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 cup fresh or frozen red raspberries
1/4 cup water

Add all ingredients to a blender and blend for abut 30 seconds. If you use a shaker bottle, mash up the raspberries with a fork, then add them to the bottle.
