Cranberry Salsa with Cream Cheese

Pin It
I know… I already shared a cranberry salsa recipe with you, but I couldn’t resist this one because it’s so tasty and completely different from the last one I shared. This is my friend Maria’s recipe, although I’ve seen some other variations on the web lately. My friend Aubrey suggested we make this on Thanksgiving to snack on while the turkey was cooking and it was a great idea, everyone loved it. The ingredients seem like an odd mix but they really work well somehow. I think the taste got better with age (few days) but my husband disagreed, he said it tasted pickled and he hates pickles. Try this recipe out for your next holiday party or even ringing in the new year, it will get rave reviews from your family and friends.
