FROZEN CRANBERRY BANANA SALAD
I love that these little salad and/or dessert goodies can be made days in advance and kept in the freezer in a ziploc bag until ready to serve. This of course could be made and frozen in a salad dish but the individual presentations are quite nice and you always have individual servings ready for a quick treat anytime.
