How to Prepare:

I prefer this to commercial sugar-free soda because I avoid aspertame. Mix the Splenda and cherry extract together in a measuring cup until dissolved, adding a splash of the club soda if necessary. If you add soda, this will foam a lot until mixing is complete. Pour the mixture slowly back into the 2-liter bottle.

Chop the remaining cilantro very fine and stir into the dressing. The cilantro taste is very strong. Start with just 2T if you like. The vinaigrette is an excellent marinade for ribs or fish.
