Raspberries are one of my favorite fruits. I love adding fresh raspberries to salads and eating them plain for a nighttime treat.
We often buy fresh raspberries in bulk from a local organic farmer when they are in season and freeze them to use for the rest of the year.
Frozen raspberries are an enjoyable snack on their own, but we mainly use them in popsicles and in homemade raspberry vinaigrettes.
Homemade Raspberry Vinaigrette
Store bought vinaigrette recipes often contain high fructose corn syrup, vegetable oils, and preservatives. I prefer to make this fresh version instead and often whip up a batch for a lunch salad.
Any vinegar can be used in this recipe, but I prefer white wine vinegar or coconut water vinegar. I’ve also used kombucha before and it gives excellent flavor.
AIP: When I’m following my autoimmune diet, I use coconut water vinegar or kombucha as the vinegar in this recipe.

Not just for salads…
While raspberry vinaigrette is a classic salad dressing, it can also be used various other ways. It makes an excellent marinade for meats, especially red meat, or drizzled over roasted vegetables or potatoes.

An excellent quality white wine vinegar as the recipe calls for is excellent but I’ve read and had this recipe with balsamic as well, and you are correct, it is also good.
I didn’t have any raspberries from the garden yet, but I had some Lacto-fermented Cranberry sauce left from Christmas so I used that instead and it was really amazing in our salad with turkey, craisins, and pecans! Just had to tell you and say thanks for the foundation. I can’t wait to try it with raspberries!
Hey! this raspberry vinaigrette recipe looks yummy, if I made a batch, could I store it in sterilised sealed glass bottles? thank you.
It’s a great recipe! I used a little basamlic vinegar as someone suggested. Good addition. Changes the color a lot though. I also used more raspberries. Does anyone have spice/herb addition suggestions? Only giving it a 4 because I want optional spices/variations included.
Have you canned this recipe? I have gallons of fresh berries and woyld love to can a huge batch/ also could you use apple cider vinegar instead of white??
I haven’t tried…
Made for an arugula salad with feta cheese, strawberries and toasted almonds. Delish!
What can you use to replace the honey? Or can you just leave it out? I have a sensitivity to honey but would love to try out the recipe. Thanks!
you could use maple syrup or omit it
Fresh,easy to make and yummy.
Absolutely fresh and tasty.
My fix to this recipe is a great quality balsamic vinegar and half what it says here. i followed this recipe step by step and it is: terrible!! the white vinegar is just tasteless and sour!
Can I use Apple cider vinegar instead of the white wine vinegar?
I thought you’re not supposed to put olive oil in a blender, because it can get bitter?
I love the idea of using kombucha as the vinegar. I have just picked and frozen lots of raspberries so I will be trying this out! I have also picked blackberries which could work as well – would be nice with some venison 🙂
At home we make a dressing we call the ” grudge”, It consists of 1 cup of olive oil,1 tbs of fresh chopped italian parsley,1 tsp of granulated garlic pwdr and pepper to taste. It is delicious on grilled beef.
How long will this stay good in the refrigerator?
Sexiest dressing ever.
