Categories     Condiment/Spread     Appetizer     Quick & Easy

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 bag (12 oz.) fresh cranberries
3/4 cup Splenda, Stevia In the Raw Granulated, or sugar
1 bunch green onions, sliced (about 3/4 cup sliced green onion)
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped (about 3/4 cup chopped cilantro, or use more to taste)
2 fresh jalapenos, seeds removed and chopped (use more if you like it spicy; could also use a few tsp. of Green Tabasco Sauce)
1 T olive oil
1 T fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Put the cranberries into a food processor or blender and pulse until they are partly chopped. Add sweetener of your choice and pulse a few times more to combine. Add sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, chopped jalapenos (or Green Tabasco Sauce), olive oil, and lime juice and pulse until all ingredients are chopped and the mixture is well combined. (If you're not sure about using 2 jalapenos, add one and taste the mixture before you add the other, but I'm kind of a lightweight on spicy things and this was just right for me.) Put mixture into a glass or plastic container with a tight-fitting lid and chill for several hours or overnight. Serve over 8 oz softened low-fat cream cheese for dip.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter, tarter flavor than frozen or canned cranberries. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen or canned cranberries, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Choose a ripe avocado: A ripe avocado will be slightly soft when pressed gently. Avoid avocados that are too hard or too soft.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to dice the avocado, cranberries, and onion. A dull knife will make the process more difficult and may result in unevenly cut pieces.
  • Season to taste: The amount of salt, pepper, and lime juice you add to the salsa will depend on your personal preferences. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Serve immediately: Cranberry-lime salsa is best served immediately after it is made. The avocado will start to brown after a few hours, so it is best to consume the salsa within a few hours of making it.

Conclusion:

Cranberry-lime salsa is a refreshing and flavorful salsa that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed as a dip, a topping, or a side dish. The bright and tangy flavor of the cranberries and lime is perfectly complemented by the creamy avocado and the subtle heat of the jalapeƱo pepper. This salsa is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
