Sweet and Creamy Raspberry Dressing

Sweet and Creamy Raspberry Dressing

Finally, a way to make a dent in the bundles of fruit preserves you were gifted for Christmas. The recipe for dressing below is mild on sweetness - pairs nicely with a crispy leaf lettuce. I especially love the sweetness to pair with a hard boiled egg in the salad. For even bitterer salads, such as with a spinach base, you can increase the amount of honey or fruit preserve to balance the bitterness. Dresses one large salad.
