Raspberry Vinegarette

 

Raspberry season is upon us!  If you have fresh berries, whip up a delightful vinaigrette. Out of season? Frozen raspberries work wonders for adding sweetness. Drowning in raspberries? Consider making jam or freezing them for later enjoyment. Get inventive and craft your own vinegar—your future self will thank you! Pair your vinaigrette with a mild oil like grapeseed or olive oil for the best results.

Ingredients

1/4 cup fresh or frozen raspberries

1/4 cup white wine vinegar (or raspberry vinegar)

1 small shallot, chopped very fine (about 2 tablespoons)

1/2 cup olive oil

Sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Instructions

Combine the raspberries with the other ingredients in a blender until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

If using raspberry vinegar without fresh berries, combine the vinegar and shallot in a bowl. In a slow, steady stream, pour in olive oil while whisking. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

This vinaigrette will keep refrigerated for a few weeks. Whisk to remix the vinaigrette before using.
