Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and more nutrients than frozen or canned cranberries.
  • Don't overcook the cranberries. Overcooked cranberries will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Chill the salad before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and make the salad more refreshing.
  • Serve the salad with a variety of toppings. Popular toppings include whipped cream, marshmallows, and chopped nuts.
  • Store the salad in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
