Cranberry Salad

Mom was wonderful enough to post the Cranberry Salad Dressing.  For anybody that might be interested here was the recipe for the actual salad that goes well with the dressing.

Cranberry Salad
1 (5.5 oz) package mixed salad greens with spinach
3/4 cup sweetened dried cranberries
3/4 cup sugared nuts (walnuts, almonds, etc.)
1 (15 oz) can mandarin oranges, drained
3/4 cup crumbled bleu or feta cheese
1 avocado
2 tablespoons cranberry dressing

Cranberry Salad Dressing

This dressing has been requested from last year's Davis Christmas Party.

3 T red wine vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh cranberries
1-3 tsp. Dijon mustard (I used 1 tsp, but the recipe called for more)
1/2 tsp. minced garlic
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 T water
1-2 T sugar (to taste)

Blend all of the ingredients until smooth.
