Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons raspberry vinegar the star ingredient that gives this vinaigrette its signature tang.
  • 6 tablespoons vegetable oil provides a smooth texture and helps balance the acidity.
  • 3 tablespoons honey adds natural sweetness to complement the tartness of the vinegar.
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard introduces a hint of spice and depth to the dressing.
  • 2 tablespoons finely minced shallots (from one shallot) adds a mild onion flavor that enhances the overall taste.
  • ½ teaspoon salt boosts the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper adds a touch of heat and complexity.

Equipment

  • Whisk
  • Measuring spoons
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Jar or bottle

Method
 

  1. Start by collecting all the ingredients listed above. Having everything ready makes the process smoother and more enjoyable.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the raspberry vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard. Whisk these ingredients together until they are fully incorporated and the honey is dissolved.
  3. Next, add the finely minced shallots, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the bowl. Stir well to combine.
  4. While whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil. This will help emulsify the dressing, creating a smooth and cohesive vinaigrette.
  5. Taste your raspberry vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You may want to add a bit more honey for sweetness or salt for flavor.
  6. Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or bottle for easy storage. If you're serving immediately, drizzle it over your favorite salad or dish.

Notes

  • Whisk well to ensure proper emulsification.
  • Always taste before serving to adjust sweetness and acidity.
  • Store in the fridge and shake before each use.
