It made quite a bit of dressing, probably at least as much as a typical store-bought size bottle.

This is brilliant. Usually when I eat a salad, I just use a little olive oil, which is wicked lame.
Kimberly Grabinski
It tastes better than the bottled kind too. Although I do just olive oil and salt & pepper sometimes when I am just have tomatoes or cucumbers. YUM!

I'm the weirdo that can't stand fruit on a salad but my mom absolutely loves raspberry vinaigrette dressing. I may have to make her a bottle of this to try.

I was wondering if you could blend it longer to break down the seeds. The seeds are the only thing that make me avoid raspberries.
MIchelle
You could blend the raspberries first, and then put them through a strainer to get the seeds out, maybe?

sounds like this would be good on my favorite strawberry pecan chicken salad

I love having a powerful blender. It give me the ability to be as creative as I want in the kitchen as it can take, well, almost, anything. I never would have thought of basil and raspberries together. As soon as they are in season, I'm going to try this!
Sara Phillips
YUM! This would be amazing on a salad with grilled chicken!!
Nichol
This sounds and looks amazing Kim. I'm trying to like vinaigrette dressing. I can't handle any vinegar taste so right now I'm using olive oil with a bit of Mrs. Dash. Will definitely give this a try!

Delicious! I love raspberries and they add a perfect flavor to salads (and smoothies). Vitamix is on my wish list for a while now, hopefully one day in my kitchen too 🙂

I just do my grandma's recipe. It's olive oil with a few seasonings. So good! Going to have to try this! LOVE raspberries.
