Instructions
Prepare the raspberries
Rinse the fresh raspberries under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Pro tip: Ensure the raspberries are dry to avoid watering down the dressing.
Blend the base ingredients
In a blender, combine the raspberries, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and honey. Blend until smooth.

Add the mustard and seasonings
Add the Dijon mustard, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper to the blender. Blend again until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Pro tip: Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Strain for smoothness
Strain the dressing through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds and achieve a smoother texture.
Transfer to a jar
Pour the strained dressing into a clean, dry jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Pro tip: A mason jar works great for storing dressings.
Chill before serving
Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavours meld together.
Pro tip: Shake well before using.
