1. Put the cranberries, orange zest, orange juice, vinegar, mustard, honey, and salt in a bowl and stir until blended.
2. Drizzle in the olive oil, slowly, whisking constantly, adding a bit of olive oil at a time until the vinaigrette becomes smooth and thickens.
3. Arrange salad fixings on plates and top with dressing, then sprinkle nuts over the top.

If you have leftover cranberry orange relish, you can use it to make this dressing. You would substitute 1 cup of your leftover relish for the 1 cup of the cranberry sauce. Then simply eliminate the zested and juiced orange in the recipe since it's already in your relish. The rest of the recipe would stay the same. Of course, you can still add more orange if you want to, you just don't need to.
I like this dressing particularly with spinach greens, cooked cubed turkey, and walnuts. The flavors go together very nicely.
