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<\/a> in bulk from a local organic farmer when they\u2019re in season and freeze them to use for the rest of the year.<\/p>\n Frozen raspberries are an enjoyable snack on their own, but we mainly use them in popsicles and in this homemade raspberry vinaigrette.<\/p>\n Nothing beats the fresh natural flavor of red raspberries, with a little tart vinegar, and a hint of sweetness from raw honey. It\u2019s certainly better than the store-bought versions with soybean and canola oil<\/a> and corn syrup with a side of potassium sorbate! I prefer to make this fresh version instead and I\u2019ll often whip up a batch for a lunch salad.<\/p>\n It\u2019s naturally dairy and gluten free and low in total sugars. Some homemade raspberry vinaigrettes start with raspberry jam, but I\u2019ve found sticking with the fruit itself still offers plenty of flavor. Plus it\u2019s easier to control the sweetness by skipping the refined sugar.<\/p>\n As the name implies, the main ingredients are raspberries and vinegar. You can use any vinegar in this recipe, but I prefer white wine vinegar or coconut water vinegar. I\u2019ve also used kombucha before and it gives excellent flavor. When I followed my autoimmune diet<\/a>, I used coconut water vinegar or kombucha instead of white wine vinegar.<\/p>\n Red wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or even lemon juice will work. For a rasperry balsamic vinaigrette version, use balsamic vinegar instead. It gives it a deep, rich flavor from the grape musk.<\/p>\n Not just for salads\u2026<\/p>\n 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<\/a> or potatoes.<\/p>\n If you like raspberry vinaigrette, try this natural homemade version.
