Raspberry Poppy Seed Vinaigrette

Salad is a wonderful meal on its own or served alongside a lean meat when you are looking for a healthier, light alternative. But what happens when you put a rich and creamy or sugar-laden dressing all over the top? It cancels out the healthful benefits, right? This Raspberry Poppy Seed Vinaigrette is low in sugar, light, refreshing, and tangy – perfect for summer BBQs or Sunday dinners.  It is made from just 6 simple ingredients tossed in the blender in less than 5 minutes from fridge to table.  Give it a try on your next bowl of salad, this is one Sweet Swap™ you are going to love. SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweeteners give you the taste of sugar with less calories so you can enjoy the sweet life!

Transfer dressing to a small jar, a 4 oz. mason jar holds this recipe perfectly.

Vinaigrette will keep for up to 7-10 days in the refrigerator.

Notes:

Serve over your favorite salad. I love to eat mine on a bed of spinach and arugula. It is also delicious drizzled over grilled vegetables or fresh strawberries.

    This looks and sounds amazing. I really need to make more homemade dressings, I always like them better, I’m just lazy. haha!

    That dressing looks fantastic. We’ve cut a lot of sugar out and use mainly splenda and stevia as sweeteners. I can’t wait to make this one.

    Vinaigrette’s are my favorite king of dressing for my salad. I love the combination of flavors you used, I will have to try this.

    We really enjoy making our own salad dressing. I like that liquid Splenda eliminates having to deal with potential clumps.

  18. Jamie says

    I love unique salad dressings. This one looks like it’s full of flavor. I try to make/use dressings that pack a big punch with just a little dressing.

    Thanks for sharing this great recipe! Fruity vinaigrettes are the only thing that makes rabbit food bearable for me. =D

    I’ve never had a vinaigrette like this before. I’ll have to give it a try. I love the taste of raspberries, so I’m sure I’d like this.
