Total Time 15 minutes
Brighten your holiday table with tangy cranberry salsa! A festive twist on classic salsa, perfect with chips or over cream cheese.

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces fresh or frozen (thawed) cranberries, about 4 ½ cups,
  • ½ cup cilantro, chopped
  • ¼ cup green onions, chopped
  • 5 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 medium jalapeño peppers seeded and diced
  • 1/4 cup lime juice, about 2 limes
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, optional
  • Crackers, for serving

Instructions

  • In a food processor, combine cranberries, cilantro, green onions, granulated sugar, diced jalapeños, lime juice, and kosher salt. Blend until the mixture reaches your desired consistency. For a chunkier salsa, pulse the mixture lightly; for a smoother consistency, blend longer.
  • If using cream cheese, place the block of cream cheese on a serving plate and pour the cranberry salsa over the top.
  • Serve immediately with crackers for dipping.
