Recipe for Sugar-Free Strawberry Vinaigrette

A sugar-free version and still delicious. Wonderful on spinach salad.

Sugar-Free Strawberry Vinaigrette
1 cup Smuckers* sugar free strawberry preserves
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup Dijon mustard**
1/2 cup to 1 teaspoon ground pepper
1/2 cup cup olive oil
1/2 cup water

In a medium bowl, using a wire whisk, whip together the preserves, vinegar, mustard and pepper, until thoroughly emulsified. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup olive oil, then 1/2 cup of water, (more, if desired). Makes 2 1/2 cups or 20 servings (2 tablespoons).

*Feel free to use whatever brand of sugar-free strawberry preserves you prefer.

** Dijon mustard is high in sodium. To cut this, as I am watching my salt, I used 3 Tablespoons of a no-sodium stoneground mustard and 1 Tablespoon of regular Dijon mustard, (4 Tablespoons = 1/4 cup).
Westbrae Natural Stoneground Mustard is the no-salt variety I used, and the dressing tasted great. If you do not have a problem with salt, feel free to use what-ever brand of Dijon mustard you prefer.
