Fresh Cranberry-Grape Salad image

This has been a traditional salad on our Thanksgiving table for many years. To give you an idea of how long, the only red grapes I could get at first had seeds in them. There was no such thing as seedless! This salad is so much less work now that I don't have to seed the grapes. And it really is delicious -- so different . And it has a make-ahead feature that is most welcome at this busy time. It can be started up to 2 days ahead. Recipe from BH&G. Chilling time is not counted in prep time.

Time 25m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups fresh cranberries
1 cup sugar
1 cup red grapes
1/2 cup broken walnuts (or more, to taste)
1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped

Steps:

  • Put cranberries through the food grinder, using coarse blade. Or chop in processor. Stir in sugar. Let stand overnight.
  • Next morning, drain well, pressing lightly to remove excess juice. (Reserve the juice for another use. I like to add it to a fruit punch.) Cut grapes in half and remove seeds if necessary. Add grapes and nuts to well-drained cranberry mixture. This much may be done ahead. Refrigerate.
  • Just before serving, fold in the whipped cream. Mound in a lettuce-lined bowl, garnished with clusters of grapes. Serve immediately. Recipe doubles easily.
  • Note: You may add a small can of pineapple tidbits, well drained, with the grapes and walnuts, if you wish.

I like to add a little bit of honey or maple syrup to this salad to make it a bit sweeter. I also sometimes add a sprinkle of cinnamon.

I've made this salad with both red and green grapes, and I like both versions. The red grapes add a pop of color, while the green grapes are a bit more tart.

I'm not a huge fan of cranberries, but I really enjoyed this salad. The sweetness of the grapes and the crunch of the nuts balanced out the tartness of the cranberries.
