If you love cranberries, you'll love this delicious Cranberry Salad for the holidays. When it comes to festive food, it's hard to go wrong with anything with cranberries in it.

For Christmas or Thanksgiving, or even just because you feel like it - this yummy salad will please even the pickiest eaters. I've even made it in the middle of the summer! Truly refreshing.

What you'll need:
- 2 10-ounce packages of mixed salad greens
- 2 cups dried cranberries (sweetened)
- 2 4-ounce packages of crumbled Feta cheese
- 1 cup walnuts (toasted and coarsely chopped)
- 4 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

Easy Appetizer Recipe:
First, layer your salad greens with the cranberries, cheese and walnuts in any kind of festive, shallow salad bowl. Or, if you'd rather, use a large, deep platter.

Next, briskly whisk the vinegar, honey, mustard and pepper together. Then, add the oil in a thin stream to your mixture while constantly whisking the dressing ingrediants. Make sure you blend everything well.

Simply pour the dressing over your prepared salad and toss to coat the lettuce. This is so easy that you can plan on making it minutes ahead of when you actually sit down and serve it! Enjoy and watch it disappear!

This recipe makes 8 servings.

Enjoy!
