Cranberry Salsa

Pin It

I originally posted this recipe in 2010 with What’s on my Thanksgiving table this year, but I feel like it didn’t get it’s fair shake so I thought it needed its own spotlight. I first tried this salsa when a friend Heidi Tree made it for a lunch at church.  Surprised at how good it was because of the odd ingredients, like when you see a couple together that doesn’t look like they match but after getting to know them you see why they go together so well.  This is the perfect Fall salsa to make for a party or holiday gathering, it has fresh cranberries, celery, and carrots which gives this salsa a different zing of flavor. The flavor is a little sweet from the cranberry sauce but spicy from the peppers.  I like the fresh cilantro but if you are not a fan of cilantro leave it out. Serve something different at your next get-together by making cranberry salsa.
