I have been catching some serious slack from all around about not posting in over 4 weeks. Geeze, can’t a sista catch a break? It’s A LOT of work keeping up a blog. I know for those of you who don’t have blogs, it looks easy peasy. But it is uber time consuming, and when you have 2 kids out of school that want ALL of your time, well, food blogs get put on the back burner. The kids go back to school on Tues(did you catch me doing the happy dance?) and I will have lots of more time to devote to my blog (I hope).
Remember the baby shower I threw for my sister? This was the salad dressing I used on the salad. It is super easy and delicious. Nothing compares to homemade salad dressing. If you like a full flavor, tart dressing, this is the one for you. Makes my mouth water when I think about it.
| Raspberry Vinaigrette |
- 1/2 cup raspberry wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon oregano
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- Large handful of Fresh Raspberries
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Pinch salt
- Pinch pepper
- In a blender, add the raspberry wine vinegar, jam, mustard, oregano, sugar and raspberries.
- Blend until combined.
- In a very slow stream, add the oils.
- Blend until thickened.
- Season with salt and pepper.
Makes 1 1/2 cups.
Make a day in advance for the flavors to get a chance to mix together.
Ooh I love the addition of jam in the dressing. This looks incredible! Can’t wait to make it. Glad you are back!
2 more till until the happy dance here.
I agree, love the addition of the jam.
Defintely trying it this weekend!

Love raspberries and raspberry vinaigrette but I’ve never added dijon; sounds good and will absolutely give this a shot!
I love raspberry vinaigrette – the tartness of the dressing is perfect for so many lettuces. It really enhances the salad without completely overwhelming it. Great recipe!
Love it!
