Description

I like this dressing over a mixed green salad, potato salad (yes, it actually works) and even grilled salmon or warm roast turkey breast and glazed ham steaks at Christmas. I really love the color of this dressing - whatever it touches looks so pretty.

Ingredients

1/2 cup cranberry juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon dried cranberries, finely chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons ground almonds
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil

Directions

1 Whisk together the cranberry juice, lemon juice, cranberries, shallot, parsley, almonds, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, salt, and sugar in a small bowl until the sugar has dissolved. Whisk in the vegetable oil until the dressing is thick and smooth.
