Cranberry-Sesame Vinaigrette image

My husband loves fruity vinaigrettes, and by making our own I can go light on the oil and salt. I use a sesame or nut oil for added richness; a little goes a long way. I also use this recipe for marinades or in fruit salads. -Julie Neves, Sunbury, Pennsylvania

I didn't have any sesame oil, so I used olive oil instead. It was still good, but I think it would have been better with sesame oil.

This vinaigrette is amazing! I used it on a salad with mixed greens, strawberries, goat cheese, and toasted pecans, and it was the perfect dressing. The balance of sweet and tangy is perfect, and the sesame oil adds a nice nutty flavor.
