Low Cal Garlic Mustard Vinaigrette Dressing

Wife and I are on low fat, low calorie, high fiber diet. My normal dressings are great, yet have more calories than we want to have so I got inventive with this variation of vinegarette. It's a very tangy, sweet salad dressing with only 20 calories per tablespoonful. Tastes best on mixed salad greens or on mixed fruit salad.
