Dried fruit on the back of your cupboard shelf? Here is an easy way to utilize it to make a tangy, fresh dressing, perfect for summer salads mmmmmm!
Soak 1/2 cup of whatever dried fruit you have in HOT water (I happened to have dried cherries lurking in my cupboard). Blend it with 1/2 cup lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil and a clove of garlic, 1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt, plenty of pepper. Adjust oil/lemon juice to how you like it. To make it savory, add a dollop of dijon mustard. To make it sweeter add a tablespoon of any jam or a teaspoon of honey. If you have any fresh herbs you can add them or top your salad with them.
