I made this salad for my annual church home group Thanksgiving potluck. I think I may have found "my" dish that I will bring every year. My mom said it was perfect. But PERSONALLY I thought it was too sweet. I realized it's because the basic directions on the gelatin box requires an additional cup of cold water, which in the recipe is not added but substituted by the cranberry sauce. Since I am making 2 molds (for 35 people), NEXT TIME I will mix 3 boxes of gelatin and 4 cups of water to dilute it a bit. I will also microwave my cranberry sauce first so it will break up a little easier, and leave everything else the same.

I made this for my thanksgiving guests and got RAVE reviews! I'm not a cranberry salad person and I LOVED this. The salt of the nuts w/ the sweet of the jello and the tartness of the whole cranberries made for a wonderful salad! Will definately make again! Thanks!

I made this recipe Sugar-free. I made my own cranberry sauce with fresh cranberries and Splenda. I used Sugar-free Jello...I used raspberry and cherry flavors. The whole family really liked it, and the sugar was not missed.

I really thought this was just so so. Better than just plain cranberry but really nothing special.

My husband and I LOVED this salad. I wasn't sure about the nuts, but they stayed nice and crunchy. Followed the recipe exactly. This is a definite keeper for our family file.

Awesome! I am guilty of preparing traditional recipes my mom prepared for the holidays, and not trying anything new. This recipe got my attention and I tried it. This is a "keeper" and will serve it for Thanksgiving.

I took a previous reviewer's suggestion to another level when I made this last night. Divided the recipe in half (except that I used an 8 oz. can of pineapple instead of 1/2 of a 20 oz. can) and put the 3 layers into an OREO chocolate pie crust. If you like a tart dessert, this is it!!! Serve each piece topped with Cool Whip or real whipped cream. EXCELLENT!!!

I don't care for unsweetened cream cheese, so i added 2 teaspoons of Splenda to cream cheese. Couldn't stop the family from eating every last drop!

Very good, everyone loved it. Heres a neat little trick. Halve the recipe and put the cream cheese layer on the bottom of a ready made graham cracker crust, then set for 10 minutes in the freezer and then add the cranberry mixture layer and chill in fridge till firm. Makes an AWESOME PIE !!!!
