Greek Cranberry Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Put the cranberries in a small saucepan; add the honey and 1/3 cup water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries pop and the liquid thickens, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
• Toast the walnuts in a small dry skillet over medium heat, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool slightly, then roughly chop. 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.

Steps:

• Combine chopped cranberries and sugar in a large, nonreactive bowl. Toss well. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours.
• After 3 hours, stir apples, marshmallows, and pecans into cranberries. Combine yogurt and whipped topping; fold into cranberry salad. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Arrange almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast in oven for 5 minutes, or until nuts begin to brown.
• In a blender or food processor, combine the vinegar, oil, cranberries, mustard, garlic, salt, pepper, and water. Process until smooth.
• In a large bowl, toss the almonds, onion, blue cheese, and greens with the vinegar mixture until evenly coated.

Steps:

• Make the sugared nuts. In a skillet, cook and stir the pecans in the butter until toasted - about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 1/4 cup of sugar. Set aside to cool.
• Prepare the dressing. Pour the red wine vinegar, vegetable oil, parsley, garlic powder, 1 T of sugar, oregano, salt and pepper into a blender. Blend well until the ingredients are combined and the parsely is well processed.
• Toss the greens, sugared nuts, cranberries, onions, and cheese with the dressing. The dressing is pretty powerful, so use sparingly and adjust to taste. I found the proportions as listed to be just about right for our taste, but you may prefer less dressing.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Mix together the cranberries and sugar; cover and refrigerate overnight.
• The next day, combine the cranberry mixture with the pineapple, marshmallows, pecans and whipped cream. Mix well.
• Pour into a 3 quart dish, cover and refrigerate or freeze until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Chop cranberries in a food processor. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and combine with sugar. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
• Dice apple. Add to cranberry mixture with marshmallows, grapes, pecans, and salt; stir until combined.
• Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Gently fold in whipped topping before serving.

Steps:

• Dissolve gelatin in boiling water; set aside.
• In food processor, chop the cranberries while still frozen.
• Add to the gelatin with 1 1/2 cup of sugar, stir to combine.
• In food processor, chop orange chunks until finely chopped; add to cranberry mixture.
• Stir in grape halves and pecans.
• Pour into decorative bowl or mold and chill overnight.
