Notes
PRO TIP: If a sweeter cranberry salad is desired, you can use a full cup of sugar. This will offset the tartness of the cranberries.
PRO TIP: Stir all of the ingredients together carefully as you don’t want to break apart the fruit pieces.
PRO TIP: If you have the time, allow this apple cranberry salad to chill for at least a couple hours in the fridge. This will allow the flavors to mingle together in your salad.
