Cranberry Fluff Salad
Description
This salad starts by pulsing fresh cranberries to finely chop them, then sprinkling with sugar and refrigerating several hours or overnight to soften and mellow the tartness. The softened cranberries are combined in a large bowl with drained crushed pineapple, halved red seedless grapes, chopped pecans for texture, and marshmallows for sweetness and chew. Cool Whip is folded in gently to blend the salad without crushing the fruits or nuts. The salad is then refrigerated until serving, allowing flavors to blend and the texture to settle. It is a chilled dish characterized by moist fruit, crunchy nuts, fluffy marshmallows, and smooth whipped topping executing a balance of tart, sweet, and creamy contrasts.
