Recipe Notes

This is a great salad dressing for your holiday table. I love cranberry sauce but sometimes you want a little something different. (Something that doesn’t have lines from the can on the edges of the cranberry sauce.) This is a light dressing with a lot of great cranberry flavor. The olive oil really complements the cranberries and brings out the fruity flavor and aromas.

"There are four unbroken rules when it comes to Thanksgiving: there must be turkey and dressing, cranberries, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie."
