Prep Time5

Total Time5

Yield: 2 /3 cup

Ingredients

½ cup fresh cranberries
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1-2 teaspoons honey
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Add all of the ingredients to a high-powered blender. (I don’t recommend a hand blender for this recipe.)
Process on low until the cranberries are completely broken down and the vinaigrette is smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
Serve immediately or store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to a week. (You will need to remix/reshake the dressing before using.)

Notes

One to two teaspoons of honey should do it here, but it’ll depend on the tartness of your cranberries. You can dip a piece of lettuce in the dressing to test as you blend.

This homemade vinaigrette will keep for up to a week in the fridge. Keep it in a covered container or jar. You will need to rewhisk or re-shake the dressing before using to get it well mixed again.

Salad serving idea: A bag of mixed greens or spring mix, some sliced apple, chopped walnuts or pecans, and crumbled feta or goat cheese.
