Instructions

Combine ingredients: Add fresh raspberries, raspberry preserves, red wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and minced shallot into a blender.
Blend until smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed until it is smooth and fully combined, breaking down the raspberries and shallot thoroughly.
Emulsify dressing: With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil until the dressing thickens slightly and becomes emulsified.
Season: Add salt and black pepper to taste, then blend briefly again to fully incorporate the seasonings.
Adjust flavors: Taste the dressing and adjust sweetness or acidity by adding more honey or vinegar if needed.
Chill and serve: Pour the dressing into a jar, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to develop, and shake well before serving.

Notes

For a smoother texture, strain the dressing through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds.
Substitute apple cider vinegar for red wine vinegar for a different flavor profile.
This dressing pairs beautifully with mixed greens, goat cheese, toasted pecans, and grilled chicken.
