Cranberry Balsamic Vinaigrette is sweet and tangy homemade salad dressing goodness. It is easy to make and adds the perfect punch to any salad. Be sure to have plenty of bread for dipping in this delicious dressing too! It tastes so good!

I love to make homemade salad dressings. They are so easy and taste so fresh! Store bought dressings just can't compete with the goodness of fresh, homemade salad dressings. This dressing whips up quickly in a food processor, but you can also just whisk it by hand. I like to make dressings up early in the day or a day ahead to give the flavors time to mingle before we are ready to pour the sweet and tangy goodness all over our fresh salad greens.

After mixing this up it will taste great, but trust me on this one, cover it and pop it in the fridge for a few hours! Overnight is even better! Allowing all of the ingredients some alone time together will enhance the flavor of this dressing. It is so worth the wait! Be sure to make up some hard boiled eggs to add to your salad too. The tang in this dressing goes great with them (imo)!
