Cranberry Salsa is super simple to make. It is very tangy yet delicious and fresh.
Why do you wait for Thanksgiving dinner to make this easy Cranberry Salsa? Try them all the time, whenever fresh cranberries are available in the market. Cranberry Salsa with corn and Fresh Basil is a unique recipe, perfect on your table.
I do not know why my hands always pick fresh cranberries. Maybe because of its rare availability, sharp, tingling taste, or perhaps the factor it substitutes pickles in my plate.
Whatever the reason, the hardcore truth is I adore these cute-looking bouncing balls. It is a blend where two different ingredients meet with their extreme taste. Cranberries have a sharp, sour flavor, whereas corn tastes creamy.
Cranberries are available in the market for a minimal period of the year. Consuming seasonal fruits and vegetables is always a good practice rather than going in for frozen or dried verities.
Wish to make this salsa spicier, add chopped jalapenos / green chilies, or even crushed pepper could also do wonders.
