Steps:
- Start by making a simple syrup: dissolve the sugar in the water in a medium saucepan. Add vanilla beans and bring to a simmer. Add the orange juice and cranberries, a dash of salt and some freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Simmer until cranberries begin to pop and become tender, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in Dijon mustard. Chill cranberry sauce until ready to serve. The sauce can be made up to 2 days ahead of time. Just before serving, garnish sauce with freshly grated orange zest.
Tips:
- For a sweeter salad, use more dates and honey, and less lemon juice.
- If you don't have fresh cranberries on hand, you can use frozen cranberries instead. Just be sure to thaw them before using.
- For a more tangy dressing, use more lemon juice and less honey.
- You can also add other fruits to this salad, such as oranges, grapefruit, or apples.
- This salad is best served cold, so be sure to chill it in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.

This cranberry date salad with citrus honey vinaigrette is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious salad recipe, give this one a try!
