Cranberry salsa- this vibrant, tangy, and slightly sweet salsa combines the tartness of fresh cranberries with the freshness of cilantro, lime, green onion, and jalapeño. Serve over cream cheese with crackers for an easy and festive holiday appetizer.
Cranberry Salsa is a MUST make recipe for the holiday season. Its vibrant colors, refreshing flavors, and balance of sweet and tangy elements make it a festive and crowd-pleasing appetizer.
The fresh salsa is good on its own with tortilla chips, but the most popular way to enjoy cranberry salsa is over cream cheese. It may sound a little odd, but trust me, cranberry salsa with cream cheese is the way to go! The smooth, creamy texture of cream cheese with the bright, tangy flavors of cranberry salsa is SO delicious! Serve with crackers for dipping!
I love that this dish is super simple to prepare (and can be made in advance), yet it has a WOW-factor that makes it perfect for holiday parties or gatherings. Everyone LOVES this showstopping appetizer.
