This salad is a great way to use up leftover cranberries. It's also a great make-ahead dish. I like to make it the day before and then let it chill in the refrigerator overnight. The flavors meld together and it tastes even better the next day.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. The cranberries didn't have much flavor and the frosting was too thick. I think I would have liked it better if there had been more spices or nuts.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if the frosting had been less sweet.
