CHERRY CRANBERRY SALAD
My mom has made this every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas for as long as I can remember, and now I am the one making it for her to continue the tradition. We always use frozen cranberries, but fresh works fine too. Don't ever settle for cranberry salad from a can when you can make something this tasty so easy. I've had many people say they don't like cranberries but love this!

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a tarter flavor than canned cranberries, which gives the salad a more complex flavor.
- 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 the salad will be more refreshing.
- Be creative with your toppings. You can top the salad with whipped cream, chopped nuts, or crumbled bacon.
