Green Bean Salad with Cranberries

Green Bean Salad with Cranberries

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes, until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain again and pat dry.
2. While the green beans cool, place the dried cranberries in a small bowl and cover with warm water for 5 minutes to plump them up. Drain and set aside.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
4. In a large bowl, combine the blanched green beans, plumped cranberries, red onion, toasted pecans, and parsley.
5. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine. Sprinkle with crumbled feta on top.
6. Allow the salad to chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Tips:

• Swap out feta for goat cheese if you want a creamier texture.
• For extra flavor, toast the pecans in a little bit of butter and sprinkle them with a pinch of salt.

This salad is a perfect balance of crunch, sweetness from the cranberries, and tang from the dressing—a wonderful complement to your Thanksgiving meal!

Chicken wing Maple Cranberry Glaze:

1. Prepare wings according to package directions. Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and place them in a large bowl. Pour the maple cranberry glaze over the wings and toss to coat them evenly. Or dip wings into glaze.
2. Serve the wings warm, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh rosemary or parsley for a festive touch.

Tips:

• For an extra crispy finish, broil the wings for 1-2 minutes after glazing.
• Serve with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
