Cranberry Orange Vinaigrette; or, Keeping Your Resolutions with Leftovers

So, yeah. The holidays. Finally our season of overindulgence has ended. But, I still have stuff hanging about: blue cheese, cranberry sauce, glazed pecans. … …. Mmmm, that would be really yummy in a salad.

This is pretty simple stuff:
