Cranberry Holiday Salsa

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

This healthy Cranberry Holiday Salsa fresh, fun, and festive holiday appetizer that is a little bit tangy and a little bit sweet.  It’s delicious as a dip with your favorite tortilla chips, or served with goat cheese and crackers.

You know you are in trouble on Thanksgiving when you fill up on appetizers.

I totally didn’t mean to.

But this dip.

Oh my goodness, you guys.

Whole Cranberry Salsa ingredients in the food processor

It’s really so simple, too.  It took about 5 minutes to put together using my food processor.  But the flavors.  Wow.

A little bit tangy and a little bit sweet with fresh cranberries, cilantro, and a few yummy accompaniments that just work together in a way that you will wonder why you never tried it before.

Oh – and it’s such a lovely red and green color for your holiday table.

I used fresh orange juice, as well as fresh lime juice for flavor and a combination of maple syrup and coconut sugar to sweeten it just enough.  I added just a little diced jalapeno and onion, as well, but both of these could be increased if you want a stronger or spicier flavor.

And you just mix it all together and serve with chips. I used these delicious sweet potato tortillas – so good!

Like I said, it couldn’t be easier!

If it were me, though, I would also serve it with some crackers and goat cheese.

Holy mother of deliciousness.

This is perfect for any get together, but the colors make it especially festive for a Holiday party!

    how can I make it not so sweet? I made this but it is a little sweet. Should I add more jalapeno or salt/pepper?
