So fast and easy, but it'll seem like you worked a long time on this one. The flavors of the cranberry salsa with the cilantro cream are a surprisingly good combination. One word of advice: the cilantro is a standout flavor in this dish, so if you don't like the herb, you may not like this one. -From Cooking Light-
