Low-Fat Balsamic Dijon Dressing

Ingredients

• 1 cup fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp cider vinegar
• 4 tsp 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon honey

Method

1. In a small saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Place the cornstarch in a small dish and stir in the balsamic vinegar to make a paste. Crush any lumps of cornstarch with your finger or the back of a spoon.
2. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the boiling broth, making sure to add all the cornstarch mixture. Stir with a whisk or fork until the mixture thickens, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
3. Stir in the Dijon mustard, cider vinegar and honey. Pour into a jar with a tight-fitting lid and chill completely before using.
