I love homemade dressings!
The brightness of sweet raspberries and the balance of oil & vinegar in this recipe just may steal YOUR heart!
💕
With any vinaigrette, you can adjust the balance of sweet and the tart by adjusting, adding teaspoons of sugar or vinegar at the end to suit your taste!
The recipe is fairly basic, the oil is 3 to 1 with the vinegar. Add a touch of dry mustard, onion powder, and season with salt & pepper. Use whatever oil you prefer. You can slowly whisk it in, but instead, I choose to shake it!
After I vigorously shake the oil in, I WILL whisk in my🔍secret ingredient, "a pinch" of xanthan gum. This suspends raspberry seeds beautifully throughout the dressing, and yet the dressing still pours out easily. Plus, the oil and vinegar won't separate later on. Just always be sure to add only “a pinch”, and no more!
You can DIVIDE or DOUBLE the dressing recipe, but go slowly if adding more xanthan gum! It doesn't take much, to become too much.
Xanthan Gum is a common ingredient used in Gluten-Free, Low-Carb, and Keto recipes. It is also powerful stabilizer regularly used in the commercial salad dressing industry.
