Ingredients

  • ½ cup cranberry sauce leftover
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (or vinegar of choice)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup water , plus more as needed
  • sea salt fine
  • black pepper fine

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the cranberry sauce, vinegar, oil, water, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a blender. Secure the lid and blend until smooth. If the dressing doesn't look smooth, add two to four more tablespoons of water and blend again. (I usually need a 1/2 cup water total, but it will vary based on how thick your cranberry sauce is. It's safer to start with less water and add more as you go.)
  2. Taste the dressing and adjust the flavor as needed. For a sweeter dressing, add a squeeze of honey or maple syrup. For a more tangy dressing, add a touch more vinegar or lemon juice. Serve immediately, or store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

  • Nutrition information is for roughly 2 tablespoons of dressing, assuming you get 1 cup total from this recipe. This information is automatically calculated and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.
  • Update Note: This recipe was updated in December 2024 with new photos. I also added a pinch of salt and pepper.
