MY GRANDMA FRANCES' CRANBERRY PINEAPPLE SALAD
This salad is beautiful in color (lovely served in a clear glass or crystal bowl) and refreshing in taste. Different from other cranberry-pineapple salads, this one is not made with gelatin, making it lighter and fluffier. Begin making the salad 2 days before you need to serve it.

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor than frozen cranberries and will hold their shape better in the salad.
- Chop the nuts finely. Finely chopped nuts will distribute their flavor more evenly throughout the salad.
- Do not overmix the salad. Overmixing will break up the cranberries and make the salad mushy.
- Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the salad to firm up.
Conclusion:
Cranberry salad with crushed pineapple is a classic holiday dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its sweet, tart, and crunchy flavors, this salad is a refreshing addition to any holiday meal.
