Our local Quiznos sandwich shop sells a salad they serve with a sweet with heat, chipotle raspberry dressing. I love the stuff! There isn’t a drop left in the container when I’m through. Thus the need to recreate their fantastic salad dressing. Otherwise the alternative is to spend too much time and too much money at Quiznos.
It’s taken a few weeks to get the right combination of ingredients, but I’ll toot my own horn and say this this a pretty good copy cat alternative. I can’t wait to baste grilled chicken with it!
Happy cooking!

Wow, this dressing sounds absolutely amazing! I imagine it would taste awesome on chicken as well!
I can picture it with a white fish too.
Sometimes if you love food from other places too much, you just have to recreate it yourself! The raspberry dressing looks delish! I love raspberries. I bet it goes so well with that gorgeous salad. And great for a light lunch too!

It’s definitely my go-to lunch when I eat out, which isn’t often.
This sounds great! I love sweet and heat combination.

I do to. My husband isn’t so keen on heat, so I often have to make a milder version of recipes to please him.
I was just thinking yesterday that I need to find some diet friendly dressing recipes because I’m tired of buying them. This one sounds pretty tasty and I like the idea of a raspberry dressing with some heat!
The nice thing about making your own dressings is you can skip all the preservatives. I saved a few salad dressing bottles and use those for my own dressing.
I rarely, and I mean rarely, eat my salad with dressing but mixing chipotle with raspberry tempts me.
Thanks for sharing Kristin
Have a most wonderful weekend

I have a friend who doesn’t eat dressing on her salads either. If we all ate like that we’d save a few hundred calories.
What a stunning colour this dressing is. I can think of many dishes that will benefit. I love your light flavourful food.

Isn’t it a pretty color? The salad was just a plain salad, but it really is great with a grilled chicken salad with lots of tomatoes and black beans. Yum!
I’m sure this raspberry sauce would go well with many poultry dishes
For Christmas with roasted duck.. 
I hadn’t thought of duck. I’ll bet it would be very good.
Your salad looks so beautiful and colorful! I love that dressing!

hey, you are right, that is one darn good dressing, have eaten it myself… and this recipe is a killer, thanks for taking the time to figure it out, I can’t wait myself to use it on so many things – first up is some pork loins I already have… Thanks

Anything with heat is tops on my list. The hotter – the better! Have a great weekend. Loved the chicken soup!
Oh that does sound good!!! Great job!

Quiznos salad is good too. Grilled chicken on top of fresh lettuce and tomatoes. Yum!
I’m not too fond of sweet dressings on a salad however grilling is another story altogether! You sold me on the chicken grilling idea right away. I really like chipotle powder, it kicks up the flavor and imagine it is fantastic with raspberry. Congrats on the copy cat thing too. Bookmarked this one for a warmer day
Have a great weekend Kristi.

Thanks Kathy. We are fortunate that our grill is undercover at our new house, so we can grill even in the crummy weather. I agree with you and love the smoky flavor of chipotle. You have a good weekend too!
love this type of dressing, We had a sub place called Fire House Subs that had the same type of dressing and I drained it too. I will have to make this one, thanks!
Me too. When you eat as many salads as we do, it’s nice to have a variety of dressing to choose from.
Don’t think I knew Quizno’s even had salads! Love the chipotle and raspberry combination though! I bet it was delicious!
They have some a few salads I like, but this was is really good if you like kick!
Copycat recipes are the best. You know what’s going in them….and how clean your hands are

Of course I’ll accept your friend request. I love visiting your blog. Have a terrific week!
All I have to do is find a raspberry jam and I am ready to copycat your copycat. This is a great accompaniment to salads.

I bought a low sugar jam at Fred Meyer. It was a bit expensive, but you don’t use a whole lot.
Looks absolutely gorgeous! Love new dressing recipes. I can almost taste it mmmm

I know. I can never have enough dressing recipes. Often times they make great marinades too!
One of my favorite things about eating out is getting new ideas for things to make at home. I’ve never had this dressing, but it sounds like something I would really love! Great combination of sweet and savory flavors!
Faith recently posted…Everything Crackers
The salad combination is simple, but really good too. Grilled chicken, fresh salad ingredients, a little bacon and cheese. I get the small salad, and it’s just enough. You are so right, eating out can be inspiring for us food bloggers.
This is a versatile dressing and sounds flavorful.
