Santa Fe Salad Dressing on a Rainbow Salad

This Santa Fe Salad Dressing recipe is made with Raz-Pepper (Raspberry Jalapeno) Preserves, lemon juice, a dash of salt and olive oil. This rich vinaigrette can be used with any kind of salad such as quinoa, brown rice, bulgur, farro, and green salad. This dressing has just the right amount of heat from the raspberry jalapeno jam. I paired this vinaigrette with a colorful bulgur rainbow salad. Each of the vegetable ingredients add a special touch. Added to a cup of the bulgur is fresh vegetables and herbs like corn, fresh diced mango, red pepper, and green onions. The ingredients that give this salad a southwestern flare are the black beans, avocado, and fresh cilantro. This dish is vegetarian.
