This salad was a disappointment. The dressing was bland and the cranberries were too tart.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar in the dressing.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover cranberries. I always have some leftover after Thanksgiving and this is a great way to use them up.

This is a great make-ahead salad. I usually make it the night before and it's even better the next day.
