Cranberry-Turkey Spinach Salad image

Use hors d'oeuvre cutters to cut the cranberry sauce into tiny stars or other shapes to give this salad even more pizzazz. As lovely in the summer as it is for theThanksgiving/Christmas seasons.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out really watery. I think I may have used too much dressing.

This salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.

I found this salad to be very bland. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less cranberries or adding some other tart fruit, like grapefruit or orange.

This salad was easy to make and very delicious. I used a store-bought rotisserie chicken, which made it even easier. I will definitely be making this again.
