I made this salad for a potluck and it was a big hit. Everyone loved it. I especially liked the combination of cranberries, pecans, and celery. It was a nice change from the usual potato salad or coleslaw.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover cranberries. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt instead. The salad was still delicious and it was a lot healthier.
