Home made strawberry vinaigrette

So I just discovered something..
You can make homemade salad dressing!
And its awesome!

I have been eating quite a lot of salads and I love them, but I don't want to go and ruin a good salad by putting a fatty bad for you dressing on top.. 
So I tried making my own.  My first try was good, but I really like my dressings to be a little sweet.  That's when I decided to try making my own strawberry vinaigrette. 

And it was awesome! And good for you :) 
Here is the basic recipe I use.

2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 Tablespoon Strawberry Jam

Simple as that!
But there are a few changes I plan on making for next time
This particular recipe always makes just a little too much for one salad so next time I will probably just eye-ball it and make just enough so that I don't have to throw any away.

Also I think I will do less strawberry jam next time, it was a little much.

You can substitute any kind of jam and make it your own!

So good

Also Happy St. Patrick's day from my little lucky charm!

I would have loved to go have a green themed picnic today.. but it decided to snow, and hail, and be windy. So I guess our picnic will have to wait.
