My boys love salad but used to be suspicious of salad dressings. They love this Raspberry Salad Dressing. When I make this, they eat big salads and are more adventurous with the salad ingredients.
This Oil-Free Raspberry Vinaigrette is the only salad dressing my husband requests. It’s definitely husband and kid approved!
If you are new to eating a whole food plant-based diet, you’ve probably discovered how hard it is to find a good, oil-free salad dressing. Without oil, many salad dressings are thin and watery. Not this dressing!
Even though raspberries are low in pectin, they have enough to help thicken this Raspberry Dressing without the need to add extra thickening ingredients. It’s a vegan salad dressing with no added fat that tastes really good!
Oil-Free Raspberry Vinaigrette Salad Dressing
Ingredients
- 1 heaping cup of fresh raspberries, if you need to use frozen allow them to thaw first
- 1/2 cup of water
- up to a 1/2 tsp of red wine vinegar
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup (more or less to taste)
- a dash of salt and pepper
Do
- Pour your raspberries, half of the water, half of the vinegar and maple syrup into a blender. I used my Blendtec. Add your salt and pepper.
- Press the pulse button and allow to process until everything liquefies. Pour in slightly more water if needed.
- Give your dressing a taste test. Add more vinegar and maple syrup if needed. Some berries are sweeter while others are sour so this isn’t an exact science. I made it as written above and it was perfect for us.
- If you adjusted your ingredients pulse again until your salad dressing reaches the right consistency and flavor.
Your salad dressing will be a beautiful raspberry color and taste slightly sweet with just enough kick.
This will make about 1 1/2 cups depending on how much water you use. Store this dressing in the refrigerator and use within 5 days.
