Ever wonder what to do with leftover cranberry sauce? Try this! It's tangy, refreshing, and breaks you out of the standard holiday mode.
Asian Salad
3 cups fresh green beans
2 cups savoy cabbage, chopped
7 radishes, sliced
1/2 red pepper, sliced into thick matchsticks
1 green onion, sliced
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups water to boil. Add in green beans and turn heat off. Let the green beans sit until the color brightens, then transfer them to either an ice bath or a colander in the sink with cold running water to stop the cooking process.
Once cooled, add green beans to a large bowl, along with the other veggies. Set aside.
Cranberry Dressing
1/2 cup Ginger-Lime Cranberry Sauce
4 Tbsp. water
2 Tbsp. cold pressed olive oil
2 Tbsp. cold pressed flax oil
1 tsp. desiccated coconut
1 tsp. raw apple cider vinegar
1 tsp. xylitol
Juice of one lime
pinch salt
In a medium-sized bowl, add all ingredients and whisk until emulsified. Pour into your salad bowl, and toss until coated. Serve! :)

what is xylitol? how do you use it?
Xylitol is a natural sweetener that doesn't affect insulin production, so it's good for diabetics, or anyone who's trying to avoid sugar or carbs. It's a little more spendy than regular sugar, but SO worth it if you still want sweets on a special diet. And it's awesome because it looks, tastes, and works just like regular sugar in recipes! :)
Oh, and it's good for your teeth, too! :D
Awesome use of leftovers! :)
Thanks, Jenn! :)
The dressing was new to me. Will have to try it with salad. Thanks for sharing.
Looks tasty, I love fruit based dressings!
wow - i fell in love at first sight! i have to try this recipe and the key lime pie. although i've been coming across suggestions indicating chocolate and avocado are super delicious together, i would never have thought about combining avocado and vanilla. my spring break is in one week and with all the great recipes i've been coming across, wow will i be busy in the kitchen. super excited. thanks so much!
Your cousin Joel told me about you and your site. Nice! Happy to have found you.
I am going to be making a big bowl of this for our next summer cookout, I found that it keeps in the fridge really well for the next day!
