Save that Leftover Cranberry Sauce for a No-Waste Recipe!
I’m all about saving, reusing, or repurposing as much as I can in my kitchen. This cranberry mayo spread is the perfect recipe to repurpose something you may be tempted to throw out. Instead of tossing the cranberry sauce in the compost or garbage, you can repurpose it into a delicious and flavorful spread. I’m all about saving anything I can from my kitchen, and this sauce is a great way to avoid letting leftovers go to waste!
What’s In This Herby Cranberry Mayo Spread?
- Cranberry Sauce: It can be homemade or canned, either works amazing! These amazing little 8 ounce cans of cranberry sauce are prefect for this recipe too, in case you don’t have leftover cranberry sauce but still want to make this recipe.
- Mayo: You can use a plant-based mayo if vegan, or a regular or lite mayonnaise for this recipe. I usually stay away from ‘lite’ mayo but it doesn’t matter too much in this spread, it is creamy and flavorful with any mayo you use!
- Garlic
- Herbes de Provence: probably my favorite spice blend! A delicious and herby mix of thyme, rosemary, sage, savory, and lavender. SO delicious on roasted vegetables, potatoes, and in soups.
- Salt: I like to use this pink Himalayan sea salt because of the texture and additional mineral content.
Make Ahead Cranberry Mayo Recipe
This cranberry mayonnaise recipe is a fantastic and simple recipe to make ahead. Great for a busy weeknight, for entertaining, or just for those nights when you don’t feel like cooking. I like to prep one this ahead of time, and refrigerate for sandwiches later in the week. Having ready cooked meals in the fridge or freezer is a great way to enjoy home cooked meals when you don’t have time in the kitchen.
