Creamy Strawberry Pepper Jelly Vinaigrette

Use strawberry pepper jelly or strawberry jelly + hot sauce to make this creamy pepper jelly vinaigrette! It only takes 10 minutes to make and is the perfect salad dressing for spring! Try it on my Spring Cucumber and Strawberry Pasta Salad

  • Prep: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons strawberry jam, jelly, or preserves*
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce*
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons fermented vegetable brine (sauerkraut or pickle)
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons minced shallot
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Add all the ingredients to a wide mouth jar. This recipe makes about one cup of dressing so a 16 oz mason jar works great.
  2. Using an immersion (stick) blender, pulse until fully combined and smooth. (You can also blend the dressing in a food processor if you don’t have a stick blender)
  3. Serve right away, or store the dressing in an airtight jar/bottle in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

  • If you have strawberry pepper jelly, use it! If not, you get equally delicious results with strawberry jam/jelly + hot sauce
  • If serving after refrigerating: the dressing may separate a little in the fridge. Let the dressing come to room temp and shake it well before serving.
  • My favorite fermented vegetable brine to use is leftover roasted garlic sauerkraut brine or leftover horseradish pickle brine.
  • Fermented vegetable brine is what makes this dressing probiotic, but you can substitute it with store-bought pickle brine, pepperoncini brine, olive juice, or extra vinegar if needed.
