Ingredients
- 2 cups cranberries fresh; if frozen thaw before use
- 1 1/2 cups olive oil mild or mixture of extra virgin olive oil with canola or safflower oil
- 1 shallot peeled and roughly chopped, about 2-3 tablespoons
- 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar use a nice quality
- 1-2 Tbsp lemon juice start with one tablespoon, add more to taste
- 2 tsp sea salt or kosher salt
- 2 tsp sugar or honey or alternative sweetener of your choice
Instructions
- Load everything in a blender, secure the lid, and blend until vibrant pink and fairly smooth. I start on low and gradually work up to high to get the smoothest blend possible. There will be some texture because of the berries, and that's fine.
- You won't see the bright color at first, but as the berries break down it will appear. Keep blending!
- Stop the machine and give the vinaigrette a taste. You may want to adjust the salt, sugar, or other ingredient to suit your liking. You can thin the dressing with a little bit of water if it seems too thick.
- Pour the dressing into a clean bottle or jar and refrigerate. Give it a stir or a shake before using because it will have separated a bit.
Notes
- Cranberries do vary in flavor and tartness. Be sure to give your dressing a taste to adjust it.
- If you prefer a fully emulsified dressing that doesn't separate as it sits, add a tablespoon of prepared Dijon mustard to the blender with the rest of the ingredients.
- Dressing will keep in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.
