jam it on the one

It's been a while since I've posted, but I'm back and ready get to work in the kitchen. My 7 week full time contract job is now finished, I've got my freelance work under control and now it's back to normal. Phew! I've been eating a lot of soups and pasta but it's always nice to have a fresh green salad to make everything better. Last night for dinner, I made the best dressing ever and I've been thinking about it ever since. My salad was the standard issue organic greens spring mix topped with toasted walnuts. The secret ingredient? Jam! I used my favorite Bonne Maman Sour Cherry Jam to add a bit of fruity sweetness to my standard vinegrette and I was amazed at how amazingly fantastic it was. Jam. Who knew it was for more than just toast?

1 t dijon mustard
1 T sour cherry jam
1/4 c apple cider vinegar
1/4 c olive oil

Add ingredients into a small jar. Tighten lid. Shake vigourously. Add dressing to a green salad.
