FRESH CRANBERRY-GRAPE SALAD



Fresh Cranberry-Grape Salad image

This has been a traditional salad on our Thanksgiving table for many years. To give you an idea of how long, the only red grapes I could get at first had seeds in them. There was no such thing as seedless! This salad is so much less work now that I don't have to seed the grapes. And it really is delicious -- so different . And it has a make-ahead feature that is most welcome at this busy time. It can be started up to 2 days ahead. Recipe from BH&G. Chilling time is not counted in prep time.

Categories     Fruit

Time 25m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups fresh cranberries
1 cup sugar
1 cup red grapes
1/2 cup broken walnuts (or more, to taste)
1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped

Steps:

  • Put cranberries through the food grinder, using coarse blade. Or chop in processor. Stir in sugar. Let stand overnight.
  • Next morning, drain well, pressing lightly to remove excess juice. (Reserve the juice for another use. I like to add it to a fruit punch.) Cut grapes in half and remove seeds if necessary. Add grapes and nuts to well-drained cranberry mixture. This much may be done ahead. Refrigerate.
  • Just before serving, fold in the whipped cream. Mound in a lettuce-lined bowl, garnished with clusters of grapes. Serve immediately. Recipe doubles easily.
  • Note: You may add a small can of pineapple tidbits, well drained, with the grapes and walnuts, if you wish.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a tart flavor that is perfect for this salad. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but thaw them before using.
  • Choose grapes that are firm and juicy. Red or green grapes both work well in this salad. Avoid grapes that are soft or have brown spots.
  • Chop the celery and walnuts into small pieces. This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the salad.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. The dressing can be made up to 2 hours before serving. This will give the flavors time to meld.
  • Chill the salad before serving. This will help the flavors to develop and will make the salad more refreshing.
