Preparation

Step 1

1.In a medium bowl, whisk together the preserves, vinegar, mustard, and pepper until thoroughly combined.

2.Gradually whisk in olive oil then water. Serve immediately, or keep chilled until ready to serve.

You can use a different flavor of preserves, if you prefer. This is terrific over any tossed salad, but we suggest serving it with mixed baby greens that you top with crunchy walnuts and sliced strawberries, raspberries or even mandarin oranges.
