    ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. Definitely a crowd favorite. I recommend blanching the cranberries before adding them to the salsa, fresh cranberries are a little crispy it's nice to soften them up.

    I make this every year for my Christmas Party - I use green avocado tortilla chips to be festive - I have to triple the recipe because it's SO popular. Everyone raves!
