Loved it! I didn't have the raspberry vinegarette on hand so I added more raspberries and rice wine vinegar. Delicious with grilled chicken!

I just finished making this for a dinner party that's due to start in 30 minutes -- but I didn't want to wait to tell you how good it is! Just the right sweet/sour combination, lots of flavor -- this is a definite keeper!

This recipe turned out GREAT! I, like others, substituted rice vinegar for the raspberry vinegar, because I could not find raspberry vinegar Anywhere in my small town. Other than that, I followed the recipe, including using an emulsion blender to mix it. It was finished in about a minute after starting the blender! I will most definitely be making this recipe over and over again! Thank you!

Very good. I've played with omitting one or two ingredients (sugar, dijon, poppy seeds) and made as written. Great with any variation. Lots of compliments from others too.

I had a strawberry salad with a raspberry vinaigrette that was to die for a few months ago. It was a creation of one of the top caterers in Atlanta, so of course the recipe was a secret. This recipe is the closest I have found to it. I use a few more raspberries than what the recipe calls for, but it is awesome! Thanks!
