Baby Food Vinaigrette

Baby Food Vinaigrette

I know you’re probably asking me why I have baby food and no babies.  I’ve got reasons- really!  Baby food is a great substitute in lots of recipes that call for pureed fruit like muffins and smoothies, and it’s gone fancy now with organic ingredients and tasty blends of tropical fruits that I’d never even heard of as a kid.  Even the jars are cuter and, well, I’m collecting them for a future post…

But, just because I don’t have babies, doesn’t mean all you awesome moms out there don’t have a dozen half eaten jars in your fridge right now that could be used for something else.  So, how about a simple salad dressing?

This whip it up in a minute vinaigrette will impress friends and family and make your salads taste all gourmet and stuff.  No one will ever guess they’re eating baby food, I promise.

I’ve tried this dressing with various fruit flavored baby food, and my favorite so far is Beech Nut Guava, Pear and Strawberry.  Nummy!  I recommend using a mild flavored vinegar so it won’t overwhelm the fruit flavors of the baby food.  This dressing turns out to be lightly sweet, fruity and tangy, great for any salad.

I don’t know how well veggie flavors would work out for this recipe, not sure how tasty green pea vinaigrette would be.  But hey, if you give it a try, let me know!

    I’ll be looking for the baby food at my next stop at the grocer. I like making my own vinaigrette because I don’t like most of the ingredients in the store bought kind. Hey, by the way, your vinaigrette looks good enough to stand alone as a smoothie!

      Thanks! Haha! Yeah it would be a pretty tart smoothie, but I guess you could try it 🙂

    Yum! This looks so good! I really love quick and easy vinaigrettes. I adore your pictures too. Your use of lighting makes them look illuminated; it really accentuates the object of the photo! 🙂
