Notes
Can I use frozen cranberries or dried cranberries?
Frozen: Yes, you can use frozen cranberries to make this salad dressing. Just measure out and defrost the cranberries fully before making the dressing. Frozen cranberries are more widely available year round, so you can make this dressing any time of year.
Dried: Unfortunately, I do not think dried cranberries would work in this recipe.
Storage
Store cranberry vinaigrette in a glass jar or small, airtight container. Keep it in the fridge and use within one week. Give the dressing a stir when you take it out of the fridge if you see any separation.
