CRANBERRY VINAIGRETTE/SALAD DRESSING
Great vinaigrette marinade for salmon, or as an elegant salad dressing. Don't worry about the egg white (if your going to use it as salad dressing), the acids in the vinaigrette (lemon and red wine vinegar) effectively "coddles" it, making it safe to eat.

Steps:
- In a blender, whisk egg white, mustard, lemon juice, and red wine vinegar.
- While blender is still running, slowly infuse the cranberry concentrate into the mix by pouring it in a thin stream.
- Keep the blender running as you add both the olive and canola oils the same way you added the cranberry, until the oils are completely emulsified and the dressing starts to thicken.
- At this point, turn off blender, and pour the dressing into a bowl. Stir in the dill, and season the dressing with salt, pepper and sugar to your liking. I did not specify the amounts, because some like it sweet, and some like it tart.
- Use it to marinade salmon before broiling, or brush it over grilled salmon. Or use it over your favorite tossed greens--especially good during the holiday season.
- Note: To make it really bright in color, add a couple of drops of red food coloring--WOW!

Steps:
- In a blender, whisk egg white, mustard, lemon juice and red wine vinegar until frothy.
- While blender is still running, slowly pour in the cranberry concentrate, allowing it to infuse gradually into the egg white mixture.
- Mix the two oils together in a small bowl, and let it gradually stream into the blender, continuing to whisk until the dressing has emulsified, and has thickened.
- Turn off the blender at this point, and pour dressing into a large bowl. Stir in the dill and add the salt, pepper and sugar to your liking. You might like yours sweeter or more tart than mine, so I'll leave the amounts up to you.

CRANBERRY-ALMOND VINAIGRETTE
I got the idea for this dressing from my love for Post Cranberry and Almond Cereal - I thought it was a great flavor combination. I like this dressing over a mixed green salad, potato salad (yes, it actually works) and even grilled salmon or warm roast turkey breast and glazed ham steaks at Christmas. I really love the color of this dressing - whatever it touches looks so pretty.
