This cranberry salsa recipe is an easy, yet flavorful appetizer to bring to any holiday party. Make it a day ahead of time to let the flavors blend, and to avoid the last-minute stress of cooking. The vibrant red and green make it the perfect for the holidays!
This version is combination of a few different ideas I saw online as well as a few things I needed to use up. I had bought a bag of cranberries for just $.99 and a whole, fresh pineapple at ALDI last week for $1.49. This was the perfect way to put them to use! I’m bringing this appetizer to Thanksgiving dinner and will serve it over a block of softened cream cheese with crackers.
