With cookies and candy abounding during the holidays, take a healthy break and enjoy a sweet and tart cranberry vinaigrette with some spicy winter greens. —Rachel (Simple Seasonal)
Ingredients
-
1 1/2 cups
pure no-sugar-added cranberry juice*
-
1/3 cup
vegetable oil
-
1/4 cup
thawed frozen cranberries
-
1 tablespoon
balsamic vinegar
-
2 tablespoons
pure maple syrup
-
1 tablespoon
dijon mustard
-
1/8 teaspoon
salt
-
1 teaspoon
finely minced red onion
Directions
-
In a food processor combine everything except the red onion. Process on low until all of the ingredients have emulsified (a.k.a. turned creamy and even in texture) and the cranberry is broken up into pieces that are about the size of fresh ground pepper.
-
Pour the vinaigrette into a dressing bottle, add 1 tsp of finely minced red onion and lightly shake to combine.
-
Serve immediately or store up to one week in the refrigerator. Shake vigorously between uses.
*Recommended brands are Lakewood Organic and R.W. Knudsen. A cranberry cocktail like Ocean Spray won't work for this recipe as it is less concentrated.
