CRANBERRY SALAD WITH MARSHMALLOWS



Cranberry Salad With Marshmallows image

I'll bet this recipe is over 75 years old! My husband's Grandma made this every year for the holidays. Now his Aunt does, she even grinds her own cranberries in her mother's old fashion grinder. I think that is too much work but knock your socks off if you have one! Call me lazy, but I use a food processor. You will need to begin the prep process the 2 nights before. This is very sweet, personally, I am not crazy about the marshmallows, but they are pretty.

  • Mini marshmallows: Mini marshmallows are the traditional choice for cranberry salad, but you can also use large marshmallows if you prefer. If you're using large marshmallows, cut them into small pieces before adding them to the salad.
  • Nuts: Walnuts and pecans are the most popular nuts to add to cranberry salad, but you can use any type of nuts that you like. If you're using chopped nuts, be sure to toast them before adding them to the salad.
  • Celery: Celery adds a nice crunch to cranberry salad. If you don't like celery, you can omit it or substitute another crunchy vegetable, such as jicama or water chestnuts.
  • Pineapple: Pineapple adds a tropical flavor to cranberry salad. If you don't like pineapple, you can omit it or substitute another fruit, such as oranges or grapes.
  • Dressing: The dressing for cranberry salad is typically made with mayonnaise, sugar, and pineapple juice. You can adjust the amount of sugar in the dressing to taste. If you're looking for a healthier option, you can use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
