As much as we love our salads year around here at AFCJ….

They just some how seem better when all the veggies are in season and readily available.

So bring on Spring and all the lovely salads. Cause seriously I am so ready.😉

Why make your own salad dressings?

1. Well at the top of my list would be flavor… can’t beat the fresh flavors of homemade dressing.
2. Cost- it’s always going to be more economical when you make your own.
3. Super important 💯- you control the ingredients….
4. No additives, things you can’t pronounce, plus you can control the sugar.

And with all that being said then why wouldn’t you make your own?

And I absolutely love how versatile you can be with salad making…..

Use a few of your favorite ingredients or just pile it with everything.

But honestly, when you have a really tasty dressing that should be the star of the salad…

So you really don’t need a lot of extras.

What you’ll need to make this Raspberry Vinaigrette:

• Raspberries- fresh or frozen
• Lemon juice- freshly squeezed
• Balsamic Vinegar
• Dijon mustard
• Pure maple syrup
• Olive oil
• Poppy seeds

And just pop all these lovely ingredients in a blender or food processor and you’ll have a gorgeous delicious tasting dressing you’ll wanna eat by the spoonful.

Other ways to serve this Raspberry Vinaigrette…

A great dipping sauce for a tray of veggies and also makes a beautiful presentation.

Also good as a marinade or served over roasted veggies.

So many YUMMY ways to serve this dressing.
