Fresh Mixed Berry Vinaigrette Recipe

Fresh Mixed Berry Vinaigrette Recipe is an incredible leap in the right direction, combining the fresh, delightful flavors of fresh raspberries, blackberries, quality balsamic vinegar, garlic, Vidalia onions, pure organic honey, tarragon, and fresh sweet basil.

Fresh mixed berries are some of the healthiest foods on planet Earth. New research is continuously being published, and those juicy sweet ripe berries are being recognized and analyzed for their health-giving properties. Fresh Berries are incredibly high in antioxidants.

Those delicious tasting fresh organic blackberries I included in my Fresh Mixed Berry Vinaigrette Recipe are so much more than just powerful antioxidants. Blackberries are also extremely high in some of the highest forms of chronic disease and cancer-fighting compounds: vitamins C, E, and ellagic acid. They also have high levels of the soluble fiber known as pectin, a substance that studies link to lowered cholesterol levels.

Research on fresh organic raspberries has shown that the anti-cancer benefits of raspberries may extend beyond their primary antioxidant and anti-inflammatory aspects. Many studies have suggested that increasing your daily consumption of plant foods like fresh organic raspberries decreases the risk of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease while also promoting healthy-looking skin, increased energy levels, and overall lower body weight with most.

I love berries; they have so many beautiful qualities and benefits. How can you go wrong adding fresh organic berries to a delicious salad? I mean, fresh berries’ flavor, color, and taste are outstanding. Have you ever added fresh berries to a salad? Oh, my goodness, it’s a delicious flavor.

Fresh Mixed Berry Vinaigrette Recipe is the perfect homemade dressing for a fresh bed of spring greens with tomatoes, cucumbers, shrimp, red salad onions, garbanzo beans, feta cheese, and walnuts. It makes the perfect healthy low-cal lunch to have at work or home. Don’t be afraid to dig in and enjoy your deliciously healthy salad.
