This fruit salad recipe with its sweet and tangy raspberry honey vinaigrette will have you embarking on a whimsical, and exotic journey for your taste buds.
I serve this dish as an appetizer at times because I’m adventurously rebellious like that. Plus, as the appetizer, it prepares the palate for the next course.
Whether you want to enjoy it before a meal, after a meal, or in- between as a snack, this will fulfill your sweet tooth and savory tooth with the added benefits of antioxidants.
Raspberry Honey Vinaigrette
Ingredients:
1 cup fresh, washed raspberries (you can also use frozen)
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 TBSP honey
2 TBSP red wine vinegar
1 minced shallot
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend on high speed until smooth.
Taste it and adjust according to your personal taste. If you want it to sweeter, add more honey, or if you’d like more tartness, add a splash more of the vinegar.
Cover with saran wrap and chill for about an hour. Leftover dressing can be stored in an airtight mason jar or container.
And now it’s time to put the fruit salad together.
