Blueberry Applesauce Vinaigrette

Ever buy something at the grocery store for all the right reasons, but still regret it? Giant had a sale on Mott's applesauce, including mixed flavors. I wanted the kids to have more fruits and vegetables in their diet. Plus, I knew that they like things like blueberries, mangos and peaches. So I bought the exotic flavors. Well, we got the groceries home, and nobody liked them. So what's a dad to do?  Throw them out and waste food and money?  No. Taking a lesson from Food Network's Chopped, I decided to transform them. The first experiment: blueberry applesauce vinaigrette. 

Start with a container of blueberry applesauce. Add 1/4 cup vinegar (I use apple cider vinegar, but you can use any type), 1/4 cup oil, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly. 

And that's it. Spread it over your favorite garden salad. And now you have not wasted a bad food purchase.
