Cranberry relish is one of my favourite holiday sides and another great way to enjoy some fresh cranberries is in a salsa! This cranberry salsa is so easy to make! You simply pulse cranberries (fresh or frozen) in a food processor along with onions, jalapeno, lime and cilantro! The only thing is that cranberries are a little on the tart side and limes, jalapenos and onions only add to it so you need something sweet, like sugar or honey to balance it out. Tortilla chips are perfect for dipping into this salsa all by itself but it also pairs nicely with a creamy brick of cream cheese which goes so well with the tart and spicy salsa! If you are looking for a festive treat this holiday season, you can;t go wrong with this taste cranberry salsa!
