Cranberry Pineapple Salad
This salad is as vibrant as it is tasty! It’s colorful and packed with flavor. Here’s why you’re going to love it:
Ingredients
- 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple, undrained
- 1 package (3 ounces) raspberry gelatin
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the crushed pineapple along with its juice and the raspberry gelatin. Stir everything together until the gelatin is well dissolved.
- Add in the fresh or frozen cranberries and give it a good mix. If you’re using frozen cranberries, there’s no need to thaw them first; they’ll add a nice crunch!
- Next, fold in the chopped walnuts and mini marshmallows to really amp up that texture. Y’all are gonna love the crunch from those walnuts and the sweetness from the marshmallows! Trust me!
- In a separate small bowl, mix together the sour cream and sugar. Start with 1/4 cup of sugar and taste; you can always add more if you need it sweeter. Once it’s combined, fold this mixture into the cranberry and pineapple mix.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours, or until it’s nice and chilled. This will help all those flavors meld together beautifully.
- When you’re ready to serve, give it a gentle stir and scoop it into a serving dish. Garnish with a sprinkle of walnuts on top if you’d like!
And there you have it! A scrumptious Cranberry Pineapple Salad that’s sure to be the star of your table. Enjoy this sweet treat, and watch how it brightens up your gatherings!
