- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine fresh cranberries and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once the cranberries are boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the cranberries have softened and burst.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Step 4
Transfer the cranberry mixture to a blender or food processor.
Step 5
Add balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the blender.
Step 6
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 7
If the vinaigrette is too thick, add a bit more water, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or honey as needed.
Step 9
Pour the vinaigrette into a jar or container and refrigerate until ready to use. Shake well before serving.
