Here's another veggie-friendly side dish that will be donning my Thanksgiving table. Once again, Kali will be preparing this one for us. I'm really looking forward to the flavor combination in this recipe - the sweetness of the cranberries combined with the savory onion, balsamic vinegar & parsley - delicious!
For a delicious twist, top with a sprinkling of cooked and crumbled bacon just before serving.
