Raspberry Vinaigrette

RASPBERRY VINAIGRETTE
 
 
While shopping for fresh produce yesterday I was excitedly happy to discover that the store had fresh raspberry's - being much of a berry person, I bought 2 punnets to supplement my fruit supply.
 
Last night while looking for inspiring salad dressings, I came across a recipe for a raspberry vinaigrette which I adapted for the purposes of the Paleo lifestyle eating plan.  Having just made it, I suggest a deep bowl when using your immersion / stick blender to avoid splashing of ingredients on yourself and your work area.
 
 
Ingredients
 

125g (1/2 cup) Raspberries (Fresh or frozen)
1/4 tsp fresh chopped thyme
salt to taste
pepper to taste
1/2 tblsp apple cider vinegar
1 tblsp water
1tblsp olive oil

Here's How

All ingredients ready for blending

Process together all ingredients using an immersion or stick blender or a food processor until smooth and creamy.  You may want to omit the apple cider vinegar for a less tangy taste.  I felt it a bit "tart". Allow the flavours to marinate for at least an hour before serving.

End product:  A creamy vinaigrette

  1. Sounds yummy. I will add the apple cider vinegar sparingly.
