This Raspberry Vinegar Dressing is so easy and delicious, there's no reason not to make it regularly!
Now, I’m not going to stand here and tell you that I only ever make my own dressings, and that bottled dressings are bad. I am a huge proponent of Hidden Valley Ranch, and I love a nice green salad with a little bit of Kraft Zesty Italian on it.
But let's face it - bottled dressings are loaded down with artificial flavors and sweeteners and God knows how much sodium.
They’re good, but sometimes you want to know exactly what it is you’re stuffing your face with.
This dressing is quick and simple and absolutely delicious. It’s a little off the beaten path – raspberry vinegar can be difficult to find, but it’s sold on Amazon, and in specialty food stores if you have some in your area.
And it’s totally worth the extra hassle to get your hands on the vinegar. You don’t need a ton of it to make the recipe, and it’s so good on a field greens salad, or just drizzled over strawberries.

Making and storing dressing:
Like most dressings, you can just add all of the ingredients to a jar, and then shake it to combine. Taste and adjust for seasoning. That’s one of the best parts of a homemade dressing. You can make it your own.
Because the dressing is solely honey, vinegar and oil, it lasts much longer than dressings that have other things in them such as shallots or garlic. The dressing will last in the fridge, covered, for about 10 days.
There’s not really anything to substitute in this recipe – you could definitely make it with a different fruit vinegar. Blueberry vinegar would be awesome.
You can always sub red or white wine vinegar as well, for a simple homemade vinaigrette.
