Ingredients

2 cups raspberries, divided
3 tablespoons crème de cassis (black currant-flavored liqueur)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons minced shallots
2 tablespoons crème fraîche
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 cups mixed salad greens (about 8 ounces)

Instructions

Combine 1/2 cup raspberries, crème de cassis, and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer. Cook 5 minutes or until raspberries are very tender; cool to room temperature.

Combine raspberry liquid, shallots, and next 6 ingredients (through salt) in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk.
Combine remaining 1 1/2 cups raspberries, mixed salad greens, and remaining ingredients in a large bowl; add shallot mixture, tossing gently to coat greens. Serve immediately.
