Cranberry sauce goes on so many dishes on the holiday table that it’s always worth making extra. If you have more left over than you anticipated, the recipe I share this week in my Twice as Tasty column for the Flathead Beacon converts the sauce into a salad dressing.

I love the tartness of cranberries so much that as a teenager, I would thin cranberry sauce with oil and vinegar to make a personalized salad dressing right at the Thanksgiving table. The dressing and salad recipe in my column simply formalizes the process. So you don’t have to wait for leftovers to enjoy it. If you made Orange-Infused Cranberry Sauce to serve with your feast and have a palate-cleansing salad to accompany the meal, whip up this dressing straightaway.

Learn more about this easy holiday side dish and get the complete recipe for Spinach Salad with Cranberry Sauce Dressing in my column.

Twice as Tasty

A cranberry-based salad dressing plays well with the flavors on a traditional holiday table, but any homemade dressing is an easy and welcome addition. Salad dressings are so simple and keep so well that there’s no reason to avoid adding one or more to your holiday lineup. You can make them on the fly or ahead of time and in so many flavors.

As I wrote for Clean Plates, the Best DIY Salad Dressing can be ready in under a minute. Use my recipe to whip up a simple vinaigrette that goes with any leafy salad. If you have a specific flavor in mind, here are just a few other salad dressing recipes on the blog. You can find more dressings and salads in the recipe index.
