Cranberry Salsa Recipe Add Jalapenos
The tangy cranberry salsa has just the right amount of zip. This is a delicious snack or appetizer for any party, especially during the holidays!
It also pairs perfectly with your meat dishes. Let’s face it… doesn’t it look amazing! This dip is the perfect addition to your party spread. For more flavorful dips, try Spinach Artichoke Dip, Caramel Apple Dip, and Avocado-Lime Ranch Dip.
Cranberries + Jalapenos = Delicious Salsa!
Cranberry season is one of my favorites. I love the sweetness and tangy zip of these sweet berries. I especially like it with turkey, but cranberries can be used for so much more!
With a little kick, this tangy dip makes a great appetizer or party dish. You can pour this chunky goodness over cream cheese to add some velvety creaminess, but it’s also perfect.
Get out the cookies and get ready to wow with this delicious snack. It can be paired with pork tenderloin or chicken, to name a few, so be sure to freeze a few bags of cranberries so you can stir them all year long.
How to Make Cranberry Salsa
hack. Equip your food processor with medium blades. Add cranberries, cilantro, shallots, jalapeño, lime juice, sugar and garlic salt to a food processor. Chop until you get a medium blend.
Serve. Serve at room temperature. We like to pour it over a dollop of cream cheese and scoop it up with the crackers.
refrigeration. If you’re not going to serve it right away, refrigerate.
Recipe Tips:
Aside from cranberries, I think jalapenos are the most important. They add so much flavor! One way to control how much heat you get from jalapenos is through the seeds. For minimal heat, remove all seeds. For extra heat, add more seeds.
While you can serve it right away, I recommend letting the flavors marinate for at least an hour.
How to serve + store information
There are so many ways to serve this salsa! I like to serve this salsa next to a tray full of different types of cookies. Ritz, triscuits, and wheat flakes are all good choices, as are nachos. We also like to pour it over a dollop of cream cheese and serve it with crackers too.
Not only is this salsa great for dipping, you can also use it to flavor many other dishes, such as grilled chicken, pork tenderloin, chicken or turkey sandwiches, or spread on cheesy quesadillas.
storage: This cranberry salsa will keep for up to a week in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
