Summer salads sometimes need a little extra soul to stand out from the ordinary. A well-designed sauce is often enough to transform a few fresh vegetables into a delicious and colorful meal. This is precisely what Ysaline Benakli, dietitian nutritionist, offers with a raspberry vinaigrette revealed on Instagram.
Prepared with “only 4 ingredients“, this recipe is aimed at those who want to add more flavors to their plates without spending hours in the kitchen. As the specialist points out, “it’s super simple to do” And “it makes all the difference in mixed salads.“
How to Make Homemade Raspberry Vinaigrette
To make this sauce for two people, you need to combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 3 tablespoons of cider vinegar, 1 to 2 teaspoons of mild Dijon mustard as well as 5 or 6 fresh or frozen raspberries.
Then simply mix all the ingredients until you obtain a homogeneous preparation. The raspberries bring a sweet and fragrant note that contrasts with the acidity of the cider vinegar, while the olive oil offers a smoother texture.
A balanced summer salad with orzo and vegetables
Ysaline Benakli suggests accompanying this vinaigrette with a salad made from 100 g of cooked orzo, 100 g of corn, 100 g of artichoke bottoms, 150 g of cucumber, 150 g of tomatoes and 4 to 6 hard-boiled eggs.
The dietician also insists on the freedom given to everyone to adapt the recipe according to their wishes.
“You just have to cook the orzo again, otherwise, put what you have in the fridge and cupboards” she advises.
