Notes
Additions and Substitutions
Make your own cranberry sauce instead of using canned - you can simmer fresh cranberries with orange juice and sugar to make a delicious sauce.
Use fresh lime juice if you have some on hand, instead of lemon.
Add a bit of orange zest or a tablespoon or two of orange juice for added sweetness!
Recipe Notes
I mixed this dip by hand, but you could use a food processor instead for a creamier texture.
The recipe calls for asiago cheese, but I wasn't able to find any at my store and freshly grated parmesan made a good substitute.
The original recipe calls for citric acid, which I substituted lemon juice for.
