This vinaigrette dressing is bright, sparkly, cherry and full-flavored. I made this out of the leftover cranberries I had on hand from Thanksgiving. The cranberries make a wonderful tart vinaigrette and the maple syrup tamps down any bitterness easily while adding just the right amount of balanced maple flavor. This makes a versatile dressing for everyday use as well as festive holiday meals.
This dressing is very easy to put together, and is festive, refreshing and versatile.
I especially love this with a salad of
- greens
- avocado
- apple
- chicken, and
- slivered toasted almonds
This vinaigrette will be great with your holiday dinner or to make your lunch salads more seasonal.
