We always use frozen cranberries, but fresh works fine too. Don't ever settle for cranberry salad from a can when you can make something this tasty so easy.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries and cherries. Fresh cranberries and cherries have a brighter flavor than frozen or canned fruit.
  • Chop the fruit into small pieces. This will help the fruit to distribute evenly throughout the salad.
  • Use a light-tasting mayonnaise. A heavy mayonnaise will overpower the delicate flavor of the fruit.
  • Add some nuts or seeds for crunch. Walnuts, pecans, or sunflower seeds are all good options.
  • Chill the salad before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Cranberry cherry salad is a refreshing and festive salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its bright flavors and beautiful colors, cranberry-cherry salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
