Homemade Raspberry Vinaigrette Salad Dressing

Homemade Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing

Since moving to Australia, I have been missing my favorite salad dressing, so I found a recipe online, which I modified to my taste, and this is the result. It’s very nice to have this tasty treat that reminds me of summertime salads I enjoyed back home. Give it a try!

Ingredients
¾ cup olive oil
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dried basil or fresh basil, sliced thinly
½ cup fresh raspberries
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons stevia or sugar

Instructions
Press the raspberries through a wire strainer. Discard the seeds left in the strainer. Place the raspberry juice and rest of the listed ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth.
