I started off this morning with a 10K Turkey Trot along with several thousand other people. Perfect weather, fun course, legs felt good, the best way to start a day of gluttony!
We will be venturing over to my sister-in-law's house later this afternoon and I wanted to share the recipe for what I am bringing. It is the perfect appetizer to bring to all of your holiday gatherings; people absolutely love it! In fact, my brother-in-law coined it "sex on a cracker" - it is that good! Plus, it is easy and healthy/low cal as far as appetizers go. Enjoy!
Cranberry Salsa Dip w/cream cheese
1 12oz. bag of fresh cranberries, rinsed, discard soft/damaged one
4 green onions, minced (1/2 cup)
2 small jalapeno peppers, seeded & minced
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cilantro, minced
2T. fresh ginger, finely grated
2T. lemon juice
1 8oz. package, low-fat cream cheese brick
Place rinsed cranberries into food processor and pulse until
finely chopped, but not mushy. Transfer to bow. Stir in green onions,
jalapenos, sugar, cilantro, ginger and lemon juice. Cover and refrigerate for 4
hours to allow flavors to blend. The flavor mellows and sweetens over time.
Arrange salsa around the block of cream cheese. Serve with
water crackers.
