Step 1
Start by tossing the cranberry sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, pepper, and both vinegars into a blender. Blend everything together until it’s nice and smooth, which should take about 30 seconds. While the blender is running, slowly drizzle in the walnut oil, followed by the vegetable oil. Keep blending until the dressing turns thick and creamy, about a minute or so. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if you like, then it’s ready to pour over your greens.
Why you’ll love it
This dressing offers a perfect balance of tangy and sweet flavors that brighten up any salad. The combination of cranberries and mustard adds a unique twist, making your greens more exciting and flavorful. It’s a simple way to elevate everyday meals with fresh, vibrant ingredients.
How to serve
This dressing pairs wonderfully with mixed greens, spinach, or kale salads. It also works well drizzled over roasted vegetables or as a zesty sauce for grilled chicken. Adding some toasted nuts or crumbled cheese can complement the flavors nicely.
Storage & leftovers
Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Give it a good shake or stir before using, as the ingredients may separate over time. Avoid freezing to maintain the best texture and taste.
