This Raspberry Salad Dressing is so good I could eat it with a spoon! It is made by using fresh raspberries and is enhanced by adding some raspberry vinegar – great for coleslaw, grilled chicken and prawns.

In this oh so pretty in pink Raspberry Dressing, the sweetness of the raspberries is balanced by the tang of the vinegar, and the creaminess of the mayo ties it all together. 

We loved it in our Red Cabbage Salad, but you could try it as an alternative dressing in our Kale Avocado Salad.

No Unnecessary Ingredients
Not all food additives are bad or dangerous, but we believe it is best to know what’s in the food you are eating.
Many store-bought salad dressings contain fillers, stabilisers, and flavour enhancers that are not good for you. 
You can rest easy if you make your own dressing, as you will be able to see, pronounce, and taste all of the ingredients 😊.

Ingredients & Substitutions

  • Raspberries- we have used fresh, but you may also use frozen; just make sure to thaw them completely; otherwise, it will be more of a frozen slushie than a dressing. You can also use blueberries, strawberries or blackberries instead. 
  • Mayonnaise - when we are using store-bought mayo, we opt for whole egg brands such as S&W or Hellman; they are mild and do not overpower your ingredients. You can swap the mayo for coconut yoghurt as a healthy alternative. Regular yoghurt will give you a runnier consistency, and you will need to add a sweetener such as honey with Greek yoghurt as it can be a bit tart. 
  • Raspberry Vinegar - this really boosts the raspberry flavour in this dressing. I have tried countless brands of raspberry vinegar, including some unbelievably expensive ones. The one that I thoroughly recommend and that will have you breathing in the aroma of raspberries the minute your open the bottle is Colavita. Swap for sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar if you can't find it. 
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil - is used to thin out the dressing without watering it down. Swap for avocado oil or coconut oil if you are using coconut yoghurt. 
  • Optional Sweetener - just in case your berries are too tart or if you are using Greek yoghurt, you could add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup.

Variations & Additions

Looking to take your Raspberry Salad Dressing to the next level?

  • Swap the mayonnaise for Greek yoghurt but add some honey to combat its tartness, or try some coconut yoghurt instead.
  • Use different berries; strawberries, blackberries or blueberries are all great alternatives.
  • Squeeze in some lemon or lime juice to brighten up your raspberry dressing.
  • Add some fresh herbs such as basil or mint.
  • Try a teaspoon of mustard, such as Dijon or whole grain, for an added kick.
  • Add in some minced garlic or chilli flakes for a spicy hit. 
  • Top Tips for Making Creamy Raspberry Dressing

  • For special occasions, I would not toss your salad with the raspberry dressing; serve it on the side for people to help themselves. Otherwise, it will coat everything, and your salad will look messy.  

  • For optimum flavour, make sure you choose your raspberries wisely and use fresh, blemish and mould-free raspberries. Check the bottom of your packaging. 

How to Make It

  1. Put all the dressing ingredients into a high-speed blender or small food processor. Season with sea salt and cracked black pepper, and blitz until well combined.
  2. Taste and adjust seasonings according to your liking.
  3. Pour into a truly airtight container. If the lid is too loose and extra air gets in, the dressing could spoil easily. Mason jars would be perfect!
