Cranberry Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• In a blender, combine the first six ingredients. Cover and process for 1 minute. While processing, gradually add oil in a steady stream. Stir in poppy seeds. Store in the refrigerator.

Stir the olive oil and vinegar into the cooled cranberries. (Add more honey, 1 teaspoon at a time, if the vinaigrette is too tart.) Season with salt and pepper.
• Toss the lettuce and watercress in a serving bowl; season with salt and pepper. Spoon the vinaigrette over the lettuce and top with the walnuts and herbs. Toss before serving.
