Cranberry Salad Recipe
Description
The Cranberry Salad Recipe merges tart chopped cranberries and sweet crushed pineapple with miniature marshmallows and diced apple, sweetened with sugar and a pinch of salt. Whipped heavy cream is folded in to provide a fluffy consistency, while chopped walnuts add texture and richness.
The salad is refrigerated for at least an hour to meld flavors and chill the mixture. The combination creates a refreshing dish that is mildly sweet and tart with a creamy base, suitable for side dishes or dessert during festive meals.
Frozen cranberries can be used when fresh ones are out of season, which may modify texture slightly but retain the character of the salad.
Ingredients
- 3 cups cranberries chopped, fresh
- 1 ounce can pineapple drained, unsweetened, crushed
- 2 cups miniature marshmallows
- 1 apple chopped, medium
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup walnuts chopped
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix chopped cranberries, crushed pineapple, mini marshmallows, apple, sugar, and salt.
- In another medium bowl, make whipped cream by beating whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
- Fold whipped cream and chopped walnuts into the cranberry mixture.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
- Frozen cranberries can substitute fresh with slight texture changes.
