Ingredients

  • ½ cup mayonnaise (See Notes. 1)
  • 2 tablespoons cranberry sauce (See Notes. 2)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • ⅙ teaspoon salt
  • ⅙ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, add mayonnaise, cranberry sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and ground black pepper.
  • Stir well until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.
  • Spread it on leftover turkey or ham sandwiches, or serve as a dip.

Notes

  1. You can swap mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter option, or use vegan mayo for a dairy-free version.
  2. Use canned or homemade cranberry sauce for a fresh, tangy flavor.
  3. Add a pinch of smoked paprika for mild heat, crushed red pepper for medium, or finely chopped jalapeños for extra spice.
  4. Best enjoyed fresh; store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days. Avoid freezing, as the mayo tends to separate.
  5. Perfect for sandwiches, burgers, dips, or drizzling over roasted veggies like Brussels sprouts or sweet potatoes.
