- 2/3 cup cranberries (thaw frozen)
- 2 tbsp. honey + more as needed
- 0.5 cups walnuts
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar

- Place the cranberries in a small saucepan, add honey, and 1/3 cup water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the liquid thickens, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Toast the walnuts in a small dry skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool slightly, then coarsely chop. Add olive oil and vinegar to the cooled cranberries. Add more honey, 1 teaspoon at a time, if the dressing is too tart. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
