Cranberry Salsa

If you’re looking for a holiday appetizer that’s vibrant, refreshing and always a crowd favorite, this Cranberry Salsa is exactly what you need. It’s bursting with sweet-tart cranberries, a little heat from jalapeño and irresistible bright flavor. It’s perfect for scooping with chips or spooning over cream cheese or goat cheese. The colors alone make it a showstopper on any holiday table!

What I love most about this recipe is how unbelievably easy it is to throw together. Just pulse everything in a food processor or blender, chill and serve! It’s seriously that simple. Even better, it’s make-ahead friendly, so it’s ideal for busy holiday gatherings, potlucks and last-minute entertaining.
