Naturally sweet and tangy, this silky raspberry vinaigrette recipe levels up any salad, and only takes minutes to make! I was searching for a recipe that tasted like a dressing I had at one of our local restaurants, and this one from Lisa over at Downshiftology topped the list!
The combination of this dressing with my Honey-Grilled Peach, Prosciutto & Burrata Salad is like nothing else, it’s absolutely superb! You can learn more about Lisa here. What I seem to be finding more and more is that people who create blogs are in some kind of flux. They may be leaving a job, suffering from burnout, or a mix of things and they are looking for a creative outlet. Reading about Lisa, I find that this is also in part what happened with her, and I am so glad that she chose this outlet to share with everyone. Her recipes are wonderful, and her blog is very helpful, with lots of great tips to help all of us get in and out of the kitchen.
I’ve made one other recipe of hers, Baked Cod, which was really delicious, and I encourage you to head over there and check out all of her terrific recipes.
For this recipe, I used my Pampered Chef Flex+ Multi-Prep Set:
3 Cordless Prep Tools in One
Slicing, chopping, grating, pureeing, emulsifying, mixing, and blending doesn’t have to be time-consuming or frustrating. With the Flex+, you get three complete cordless, time-saving prep tools in one: an immersion blender, 6-cup (1.5-L) food processor, and a hand mixer, so you can quickly, effortlessly, and safely whip up whatever you’re making, anytime, anywhere. Just click the power handle to one of the attachments, choose a blade (food processor) or beaters/whisks (hand mixer), pop on one of the batteries, and you’re ready to go. We’ve included two rechargeable batteries to give you about 60 minutes of total run time. The power handle has push-button control for comfortable one-handed operation. Five speeds (three for the hand mixer) easily adjust during use for flexibility and control. Indicator lights show how much battery life is left and the speed you’re using. A safety lock prevents the Flex+ from accidentally turning on.
Immersion Blender
Big jobs or small, its slim size, stainless blade, and cookware-safe design means you control the texture of the foods you blend. You’ll enjoy smooth soups and gravies, and all kinds of sauces such as pesto, tomato, chimichurri, barbecue, dressings, marinades, mayonnaise, milkshakes, and smoothies. It includes a blending container to make homemade mayonnaise and dressings in under two minutes.
6-cup (1.5-L) Food Processor
Get fresh flavor in a flash without breaking a sweat. Choose one of the three blades based on what you’re making. The multiuse blade can cut foods to the size and texture you want, even purees. The grating blade is reversible so you can coarsely or finely grate fresh ingredients in no time. The slicing blade slices and shaves veggies for salads and sautés, potatoes and zucchini for gratins, and apples or any firm produce. (Please note, the slicing blade won’t slice cheese.)
Hand Mixer
A baker’s and breakfast maker’s best friend. Mix, beat, incorporate, and whip together eggs, batters, meringues, mashed potatoes, whipped cream, frothy egg whites, and more. Includes two beaters and two whisks.
