CRANBERRY SALSA WITH CILANTRO, LIME, AND JALAPENO

CRANBERRY SALSA WITH CILANTRO, LIME, AND JALAPENO image

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 bag (12 oz.) fresh cranberries
3/4 cup Splenda, Stevia In the Raw Granulated, or sugar
1 bunch green onions, sliced (about 3/4 cup sliced green onion)
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped (about 3/4 cup chopped cilantro, or use more to taste)
2 fresh jalapenos, seeds removed and chopped (use more if you like it spicy; could also use a few tsp. of Green Tabasco Sauce)
1 T olive oil
1 T fresh lime juice

Steps:

Put the cranberries into a food processor or blender and pulse until they are partly chopped. Add sweetener of your choice and pulse a few times more to combine. Add sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, chopped jalapenos (or Green Tabasco Sauce), olive oil, and lime juice and pulse until all ingredients are chopped and the mixture is well combined. (If you're not sure about using 2 jalapenos, add one and taste the mixture before you add the other, but I'm kind of a lightweight on spicy things and this was just right for me.) Put mixture into a glass or plastic container with a tight-fitting lid and chill for several hours or overnight. Serve over 8 oz softened low-fat cream cheese for dip.
