Ingredients

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons strawberry jam or preserves OR 1/4 cup sliced fresh strawberries*
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (see notes for other options)
2 teaspoons water
1/3 cup olive oil

Instructions

Add mustard, jam, salt, pepper, vinegar and water to a small bowl or jar. Stir well with a whisk, making sure that the jam is completely blended with the other ingredients. (See Notes if using fresh berries.)

Notes

*To Use Fresh Berries: Process all the ingredients at once in a blender or food processor until smooth. You may want to add a teaspoon of honey if your berries aren't very sweet.

Vinegar Substitutes: Try this vinaigrette with Red or White Wine Vinegar, Rice Wine vinegar, Apple Cider Vinegar or even lemon juice if you can't have vinegar.
