2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest, grated
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Tips:

  • Don't overcook the cranberries: Overcooked cranberries will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they start to burst, about 5 minutes.
  • Chill the mousse before serving: This will help it to set and firm up. You can chill it for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Garnish with fresh cranberries: This will add a pop of color and flavor to your salad.
  • Serve with a variety of toppings: You can serve this salad with a variety of toppings, such as whipped cream, nuts, or fruit. You can also serve it with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
