Sunny Citrus Salad Dressing
Mary says: The product used in the recipe, Instant Clear Jel, was new to me. I have researched it, consulted with Jeff Novick RD about the product, ordered it, and used it and it works well to thicken dressings and sauces that are not going to be heated. Regular Clear Jel can be used to thicken sauces, gravy and puddings that are going to be cooked.

Hints: Instant clear jel is a modified corn starch and is used to thicken uncooked products. It is great for making salad dressings, and fresh fruit sauces. Strawberry sauce is especially good made this way. Blend a few strawberries in a blender, add a little sweetener and the instant clear jel while blender is running, then pour the sauce over sliced strawberries. It can be purchased in some natural food stores, and online. Google Instant Clear Jel for more information. Here is a link to Amazon.
