Cranberry Vinaigrettesalad Dressing Recipes

CRANBERRY BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Whisk vinegar, cranberries, sugar, mustard, salt, garlic, and pepper together in a bowl until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Stream oil into the mixture while whisking continually; continue whisking until the oil emulsifies into the vinegar.

GREEN SALAD WITH CRANBERRY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Arrange almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast in oven for 5 minutes, or until nuts begin to brown.
• In a blender or food processor, combine the vinegar, oil, cranberries, mustard, garlic, salt, pepper, and water. Process until smooth.
• In a large bowl, toss the almonds, onion, blue cheese, and greens with the vinegar mixture until evenly coated.

CRANBERRY VINAIGRETTE/SALAD DRESSING

Steps:

• In a blender, whisk egg white, mustard, lemon juice, and red wine vinegar.
• While blender is still running, slowly infuse the cranberry concentrate into the mix by pouring it in a thin stream.
• Keep the blender running as you add both the olive and canola oils the same way you added the cranberry, until the oils are completely emulsified and the dressing starts to thicken.
• At this point, turn off blender, and pour the dressing into a bowl. Stir in the dill, and season the dressing with salt, pepper and sugar to your liking. I did not specify the amounts, because some like it sweet, and some like it tart.
• Use it to marinade salmon before broiling, or brush it over grilled salmon. Or use it over your favorite tossed greens--especially good during the holiday season.
• Note: To make it really bright in color, add a couple of drops of red food coloring--WOW!
