Ingredients

• 12 ounces Fresh cranberries
• 3 large Roma tomatoes
• 1 medium-sized Jalapeño pepper
• 1 small Red onion
• 0.5 cups Cilantro leaves
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.25 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fresh cranberries thoroughly under cold water and set them aside to drain.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the cranberries and 1/4 cup of water. Heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, just until the cranberries start to pop open. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.

Step 3

While the cranberries are cooling, dice the Roma tomatoes, finely chop the jalapeño (removing seeds if you prefer less heat), and finely dice the red onion.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled cranberries with the diced tomatoes, chopped jalapeño, and diced red onion.

Step 5

Chop the cilantro leaves and add them to the bowl.

Step 6

In a small separate bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, ground cumin, salt, and olive oil. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the cranberry mixture and toss gently to combine all ingredients.

Step 8

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Serve chilled as a dip with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, grilled meat, or fish.
