Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Combine cranberry sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, pepper, rice vinegar, and apple cider vinegar in a blender. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step
0 mins

Process until smooth, approximately 30 seconds, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.

03

Step
1 mins

With the blender running on low, slowly drizzle in the walnut oil in a steady stream, followed by the vegetable oil. (Time: ~1 minute)

04

Step
1 mins

Continue to blend until the dressing emulsifies into a thick and creamy consistency, about 1 minute more. (Time: ~1 minute)

For a smoother dressing, ensure your cranberry sauce is well-blended or strained beforehand.
Adjust the vinegar ratio to your preference – more rice vinegar for a milder tang, or more cider vinegar for a sharper bite.
Walnut oil adds a lovely nutty flavor, but can be substituted with another high-quality oil like avocado or grapeseed if needed.
This dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. The oils might separate upon refrigeration, so give it a good shake before each use.

    Be careful not to over-blend, or the dressing can become too thick.

    Next time, I'm going to try adding a little orange zest for brightness.

  • Jaqueline Abernathy

    I found that using a bit of honey helped to balance the tartness. I also added a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little kick!

  • Bret Barrows

    I made a big batch and stored it in the fridge. It kept well for about a week.

    This dressing is amazing! It's so versatile. I used it on a kale salad with roasted sweet potatoes and pecans.
