Cranberry Salsa with Tree Chips

0 · Dec 20, 2017 · Leave a Comment

 Tart & tasty, fresh & festive Cranberry Salsa with baked “tree” chips .

My early Christmas gift to you is this Cranberry Salsa recipe! It’s the recipe that takes very little effort, but has a huge impact.  Everyone will be asking you for this recipe by the end of the night….trust me, that’s why I’m finally adding it to the blog.

This Cranberry Salsa is a show stopper and a festive favorite

Why I haven’t shared this Cranberry Salsa before is unknown to me… I’ve been making it for over a decade now, so I guess it’s about time, right?

Plus, with Christmas being next week, you’ll be needing this soon!  So far, we have hosted 2 parties and I just made another batch for tomorrow’s Christmas get-together. Lot’s of parties, but thankfully this appetizer is incredibly easy and everyone loves it, so it’s a guaranteed party favorite!

Tree Chips are perfect for dipping into your Cranberry Salsa

12 minutes is all you need to whip up a batch of adorable cut-out Christmas chips that will have all your friends raving!

Rudi’s makes GF Spinach Tortillas that work perfectly for this recipe.  I love that they are already the perfect shade of green and are free from nuts, dairy & soy (they don’t contain egg either).  Mission Tortilla recently came out with a soft GF tortilla that I found in Target, so that would work too, although it’s not green.

Cookie cutters do make perfectly symmetrical shapes BUT it will add to your prep time which is why I came up with this easier method.  Simply:

  • stack tortillas
  • cut into quarters
  • make 3-4 horizontal slices (see above)
  • make secondary slices for tree edges
  • then bake ’em up!

 Pulse, pulse baby

That’s right, all you need is a food processor or blender with the proper attachments and you’ll be making Cranberry Salsa in no time.  Pulse all the veggies/fruit into the perfect dippable consistency, then transfer to a large bowl then stir in the remaining ingredients.   Feeling a little lazy? Dump everything in at once and pulse until chopped.  Just keep your eye on it so it doesn’t turn into cranberry soup.  Watch how easy it is…..

When I dip you dip we dip

Are you ready to get your “Dip on”?  I know I am!  Tomorrow night’s shindig is an Appetizer Theme so we will not only be enjoying Cranberry Salsa, but I’ll also be serving Hasselback Baby Potatoes & Vegan Oreo Truffles for dessert.    YUM!!!
