Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette

I am a big fan of balsamic vinaigrette and this one has a hint of sweetness from the jam, tartness from the vinegar and a little kick from the black pepper.  Perfect!  Serve over mixed greens or romaine with sliced strawberries on top.  Perfect for summer and grilling season!

2 t. strawberry jam

3 T. extra virgin olive oil

3 T. balsamic vinegar

1 t. salt

1/2 t. black pepper

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk vigorously to combine.  

I have also made this with raspberry jam and it is equally as good.  

Feel free to make it ahead and keep in the fridge for up to a week.
