To make this perfect I layered on top of a crushed pretzle crust (make a grahm cracker crust with pretzles) the perfect sweet and salty combo!!!

This was a hit at Thanksgiving, and will never serve plain cranberry sauce again.

My family loves this receipe. I did not make any changes. It is simple and wonderful just as described. It is now my contribution to the annual Thanksgiving dinner. Great when you want a sophisticated twist to cranberry sauce.

Good stuff! Easy to throw together and very pretty. I used cranberry jello and it was SO good! I think if I make it again, I will cut back on the mayo...even with only 1 TBSP, you could definately taste it! Be sure to leave enough time for the bottom layer to firm up, it took hours for some reason! Ended up putting it in the freezer for a half hour so I could get that second layer on.

Even my 12-year-old niece who was expecting my standard "strawberry/pretzel salad" loved this one! The presentation is beautiful in a truffle bowl and was a standout on the Christmas buffet table. I made it just as stated - no alterations - perfect !

Everyone loved it! I used sugar-free raspberry Jello, unsweetened pineable and threw in a few Splendas in the cream cheese. I also put the 1st layer of Jello in the freezer so it would set up quicker and microwaved the cream cheese for about 20 seconds on high to soften it better.

Yum! Absolutely delicious. The flavors play well with eachother - the sweet of the cranberry layer and the dry flavor of the cream cheese, well balanced. I subbed pecans for walnuts. It took a long time for my cranberry layer to set, and it stayed rather soft, I think I'll have to drain the pineapple better next time.

I found this cranberry salad DELICIOUS! I am sure it would be great as written but I did add 1 can of drained chopped seedless sweet bing cherries to the jello mixture and deleted the nuts from the cream cheese mixture. Will ceartinly make again.

My girfriend makes a cranberry salad & I like very much. So I wanted to make it for a party I was invited to. I found this recipe. I had to make it for 20 people. They all loved it and my friend even said it was better than hers & she wanted my recipe. I am a diabetic so I used Wal-Mart brand sugar free RASPBERRY (instead of Cherry) jello to cut back on the sugar of the canned cranberries. I do not like Cherry jello, the raspberry was great. I also used walnuts instead as I do not like pecans. I also used the pineapple juice to thin the cream cheese instead of mayo so as to be able to spread it easier. I have been requested to make it again for a luncheon on this week. I only need to make it for 10 peolpe this time. This recipe is for sure on my most popular list.

This is so good everyone loved it even my picky 2y old. It takes some time for the first layer to set, so don't make the cream cheese layer right away. Will make every thanksgiving! Thanks!

I made this salad for Thanksgiving and everyone thought it was wonderful! Two of the guests said it was their favorite part of the meal. In the past I have been guilty of making reviewer-suggested changes to a recipe the first time I try it. This time I did not, and I'm glad I didn't. The recipe is perfect as is. I would suggest you make this recipe according to the original instructions before trying the suggestions for changes. I really did not think it was too sweet at all. It's like I expect a gelatin salad to be. If you make sure that the cream cheese is completely at room temperature and the gelatin is completely set, you will have no problem spreading the cream cheese. Also, the pineapple juice that you add to the cream cheese gives it the perfect amount of sweetness--no need to add Splenda. I have tried many different gelatin salad recipes, but I think this will be the only salad I make for future Thanksgivings.

I have to say that this recipe has been made for many of my family functions and it is always a big hit. The combination is something I would have never considered and never would have thought would be as tasty as it actually is. I make it not just for Thanksgiving but year round. The kids find it to be a great treat for after dinner.
