Easy Cranberry Vinaigrette Dressing Recipes

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 large bowl, toss the almonds, onion, blue cheese, and greens with the vinegar mixture until evenly coated.

BASIC VINAIGRETTE DRESSING WITH 8 VARIATIONS

Steps:

• Shake all ingredients for your chosen variation together in a tightly-lidded container OR whisk together in a small bowl.
• Let stand 10 minutes to rehydrate dried herbs and blend flavors.
• Shake again then dress salad as desired.
• Note -- I recommend the lemon dressing on spinach.
• Note -- I recommend the Bacon Dressing, Mustard Dressing, and Balsamic Vinaigrette on strong greens such as escarole, curly endive, and dandelion greens.
• Note -- The sweeter version of the mustard dressing is great for a vinegar coleslaw if you discover that you have accidentally gotten one of those occasional cabbages that are a touch on the bitter side.
• Note -- feel free to play with other seasonings, more complex blends, flavored oils, and flavored vinegars. Once you've learned the technique you can customize your salad dressing to suit just about any meal.

CRANBERRY BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

HOLIDAY SALAD WITH CRANBERRY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Place the inner pot inside the Instant Pot. Plug it in. Place cranberries + water + cloves + black peppercorns + cinnamon stick + paprika in the inner pot. Close the lid and set the valve to SEALING. Press the Manual/Pressure Cook Mode and set it on HIGH/MORE for 5 minutes. Once the timer goes off, follow QR (quick release manually).
• Once it cools down a bit, transfer it in your high-speed blender. Now add honey and red wine vinegar to the blender. Blend it till smooth. I did not use any salt. If you would like, add to your taste.
• Cranberry Vinaigrette is ready. Once it completely cools down, store in an airtight bottle.
• This is the easiest thing to do. You can do it 2 ways for the party.
• 1. Set it like a HOLIDAY SALAD BAR and let everyone make their own salad with their choice of ingredients. Or just add fruits to the greens and set everything else as an optional topping for vegans or people allergic to nuts.
• 2. Take a large salad bowl. Spread greens at the bottom. Layer apples & pears. Top with pomegranate pearls and Feta Cheese. Sprinkle Nuts and drizzle the Cranberry Vinaigrette on top.
• Your HOLIDAY SALAD is ready to be put out on your HOLIDAY TABLE.
