Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh cranberries
- 1 cup Water
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Stevia or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
Instructions
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh cranberries and water. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and are soft.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the cranberry mixture to cool slightly.
Transfer the cooled cranberry mixture to a blender. Add apple cider vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and your choice of natural sweetener (stevia or monk fruit sweetener).
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and well combined.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
Pour the vinaigrette into a clean jar or bottle and stir in the orange zest.
Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using to allow the flavors to meld.
Shake well before serving. Drizzle over your favorite salad greens or store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
