Instructions
Add raspberries, olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, honey, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to mini food processor (or full-sized food processor or blender). Process for 1 minute or until all ingredients are smooth and fully pureed. Taste and adjust honey and/or salt, if necessary. If you prefer (it probably won't be necessary), strain vinaigrette through a fine mesh sieve. Serve immediately or store in a tightly-sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.

Notes
