This super tart Creamy Cranberry Dressing recipe is the perfect gluten-free addition to any fall meal, and is ideal for Thanksgiving. Cranberries are a superfood, rich in antioxidants. I like to sprinkle fresh cranberries on my salad when I use this dressing. Because they are so mouth-puckering and tangy, I spare my husband and children, by using fruit sweetened, dried cranberries as a garnish on their salads, rather than the fresh ones.
I found this recipe in an old Sunset magazine and adapted it, replacing white sugar and some of the other ingredients with ones that I prefer. I hope you enjoy this gluten free salad dressing; it’s autumn in a condiment.

I LOVE cranberries and was really excited to see this recipe when I opened up my email and I plan on making this tomorrow :) Thank you for always coming up with great recipes. I do have a request. I like your power bar recipe, however I am a huge oats fan (I get Bob’s Red Mill gluten free oats) and was wondering if you would be able to make a granola bar recipe out of that? I figured you could help come up with a creative recipe for one, that would be awesome! Thank You

I’ve been taking cooking classes with our local Edible Magazine publisher/chef and she has turned me on to using fruit based dressings. Just love them and cranberries would be fantastic. Bought myself a Vitamix for my 50th birthday and I wish I had done it for my 40th. I use it almost every day.
