This is the best cranberry salad recipe I have found anywhere. It has just the right amount of sweetness and tartness to make for a delicious side to any holiday dinner. It will definately be part of my holiday family dinners from here on out! This salad makes for a very festive presentation as well.

You have got to try this salad. It was perfect with our Thanksgiving meal! I added the drained juice to 2L of 7UP and got a great salad and a great punch!

OMG! This is a yummy recipe..You gotta try it! Also, the juice from the cranberries & pineapple taste great mixed with Ginger Ale or 7-up for a quick refeshing/sweet drink! A wonderful holiday salad..Going to make if for Valentines Dinner.

This is the same recipe as Christmas Cranberry salad, except that one ses drained pineapple. I love this salad. I buy cranberries when they are in season and freeze so I will have them. I only use 1 cup sugar and usually leave out the marshmallows. I've made it with out the nuts, but it is so much better with nuts! Only use real whipping cream(unsweetened-not cool whip!)

WOW! I made this for thanksgiving and everyone loved it! I saved drained juice to make punch. Here is what I did: The night before I filled two ice cube trays with one cranberry in each slot. I poured lemon up into one tray, and water into the other, then froze. On thanksgiving I poured a bottle of lemon up, the drained juice and ice cubes into a punch bowl. I also placed about five slices of fresh lemon, and three slices of fresh lime in with it. I had so many compliments! The salad was wonderful too, and I did NOT cut the sugar. I did cut the marshmallows though, about in half. It all depends on your tastes. (Use a 2 liter bottle of lemon up)

I made this for Thanksgiving and it was really yummy. Will be making this for every Thanksgiving and Christmas in the years to come.

I made this for a Thanksgiving potluck lunch and it was a hit - everyone loved it. There was absolutely nothing left in the bowl.

I brought this salad to the Thanksgiving meal and it was a real hit! I used 1 & 3/4 cup sugar as others suggested and sprinkled another tablespoon or so of sugar on the salad while it sat in the frig ready to eat and then mixed it all up once more before serving. Several people asked for the recipe - i take that as a good sign. I'll definitley use this recipe again!

Delicious! This is one of the best fruit salads I have had. I will make this again!

awesome! just like my grandma's!!!

I USED 1 CUP & 3/4'S OF SUGAR..........ANF THAT WAS PERFECT....IT IS A VERY DELICIOUS SALAD!! IT WILL BE ADDED TO MY RECIPE LIST FOR SURE. IF YOU LIKE CRANBERRIES YOU WILL LOVE THIS SALAD!!!! EVEN IF YOU DONT IT'S SO TANGY SWEET GOOD!!

Great salad for Christmas, everyone enjoyed it. Will make again soon! I did cut the sugar, and used fresh berries.

I was unable to find either fresh or frozen cranberries (in February) in my grocery store. But I wanted to try this salad. I substituted a 1 pound bag of tart frozen cherries and followed the rest of the directions (omitting the nuts as my family requested). It turned out wonderfully! Just in time for Valentine's Day and Presidents Day when cherries are so popular. I put a small bowl of coarsely chopped walnuts on the table for anyone who wished to add the crunch of nuts. This was a hit. I have added it to my keepers. Thanks Chandell!

We've had a very similar recipe in the family for years. It's easy and delicious and a perfect addition to Thanksgiving dinner. We usually use 1 cup of sugar instead of 2 cups, and it tastes great.

Great Recipe! Fast and Easy! I wanted something tart and tangy for Thanksgiving and I got it! I had to use dried cranberries as the store was all out of fresh and even that worked great! Also, the walnuts provide an interesting texture for your mouth.

Recipe submitter, here, with a few new comments. You can make this recipe with Splenda* brand sweetener. It's great, and doesn't mess with your insulin or blood sugar level. (course, the pinapple juices will, but hey..) Making punch with the drippings isn't optional, just so you know. I'ts fabulous. Mix it with homemade lemonade for a summery treat! You can adjust the marshmallow content to your liking. If you and yours arent crazy about 'those' salads packed with marshmallows, cut back. They're not really good for ya anyhow. And do use real cream, don't desecrate this recipe with miraclewhip* or anything like that. The fat is not really bad for you, read the book: "The protein power lifeplan" for good basic nutrition research. You'll be glad you did. (Look around; does america seem to have 'nutrition' down pat?) Good luck with the salad! It's yummy!
