Cranberry Vinaigrette
I love making my own salad dressings. It’s incredibly easy and usually only needs ingredients I already have on hand. There’s really no need to buy dressing when it’s so simple to make! I had this one recently at my friend Marlyn’s house and absolutely loved it. I ended up making it the next week to go along with herbed balsamic chicken.
The dressing is thicker than I expected, but it mixed in to our salads wonderfully. For the salad, I used mixed baby greens, red apples, cinnamon-sugar roasted pecans, feta cheese and dried cranberries.
¼ cup dried cranberries
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
½ cup red onion, chopped
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
- 1
Combine cranberries, balsamic vinegar, onion, sugar and mustard in a food processor and process until smooth. Gradually drizzle in olive oil and add salt and pepper to taste.
Such a perfect dressing for salads, especially in the fall!
Looks like a great Fall salad.
Its a tasty salad. It contains all natural fruits and other ingredients. Its a healthy salad. It is believed that cranberry juice can inhibit the aggregation of bacteria that cause dental plaque.
