Re: Cranberry Pecan & Greens Salad
Do you think raisins or dried blueberries would work? I have a bag of dried blueberries and haven’t found anything appealing to use them in.
I should strongly consider rehydrating cranberries or blueberries here, at least partially, before making this recipe. It's a very easy process, if somewhat time-consuming.
Take your berries, add twice their volume of water in a bowl or large measuring cup, and let stand, covered, for about 2 hours for complete rehydration. Clearly, less than that for partial. Prefer distilled or chemically purified water to tap water.
Merry Christmas!
I think so. If I were using raisins, I think I would use golden raisins, not the regular ones.The dried cranberries are a little sweet so if the blueberries are a little sweet, I think that would be a nice change ... something 'different'. I did a quick Google search and there are recipes out there for blueberry vinaigrette so there may even be a commercial one you could buy to substitute for the raspberry vinaigrette when you switch to blueberries. This salad is really versatile - a blue cheese lover could use blue cheese instead of feta and I think that would be good, too.
