The next is the homemade raspberry vinaigrette. This one is a lot less exact, sorry for not having any measurements.

Ingredients:

Raspberry vinegar

Olive oil

Soy Sauce (tiny amount)

Honey (tiny amount)

1) Mix it all in a watertight lidded container to taste

2) Let it sit and think about what it has done, at least twenty minutes
