Raspberry Vinaigrette

Red Lab No.27's Note:

I ran out of our favorite Raspberry Vinaigrette and decided to see if I could make one at home. In the past I never made salad dressing at home because I thought it would be hard. WRONG. Making salad dressing is very easy. I used the basic components of vinaigrette (oil, vinegar, dijon mustard) to make one that suits our tastes. But you can modify the recipe however you'd like to suit your tastes. I think you'll find the taste to be much better than store bought vinaigrette. Enjoy!
