Blend the Base:
Puree the raspberries, vinegars, lemon juice, and sugar until smooth.

Raspberries make this vinaigrette vivid and fruity without pushing it toward dessert. The vinegar and lemon keep the finish lively enough for a savory spinach salad.
This dressing reminds me why fruit belongs in more savory dishes. The raspberries bring plenty of sweetness, but the vinegar and lemon keep everything balanced so it never feels like dessert. I probably use it most on spinach salads with toasted walnuts, but it's just as good drizzled over roasted vegetables or grain bowls. If you've never made a fruit vinaigrette from scratch, this is a great place to start.

Puree the raspberries, vinegars, lemon juice, and sugar until smooth.

Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while blending.

Remove the raspberry seeds for a silky texture.
Refrigerate before serving.
