Raspberry Vinaigrette Salad Dressing

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Homemade versions will have a shorter shelf life than store-bought.

Shake well before each use, as ingredients can separate.

Taste and adjust seasoning before serving; add a pinch of salt or a touch more sweetener if needed.

Serve over mixed greens, spinach salad, or even a Waldorf salad for a fruity twist.

Mixed greens

Spinach salad

Fruit salads

Grilled chicken

Goat cheese

Not emulsifying the dressing properly, leading to an oily separation.

Using too much vinegar, which can overpower the delicate raspberry flavor.

Over-sweetening, which can make the dressing cloying instead of refreshing.
