Servings: 16
Calories: 150kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cups cranberries (roughly chopped and thawed frozen, reserve 6 to 8 for optional garnish)
- 20 ounces crushed pineapple drained well
- 1 cup diced gala apple peeled and cored
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 cups mini-marshmallows
- ¼ cup walnuts chopped
- 12 ounces Cool Whip thawed
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add the cranberries, pineapple, and apples and stir to combine.
- Sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly over the fruit mixture.
- Pour the lemon juice over the mixture, then use a large spoon to stir everything together until fully combined. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Remove the bowl from the refrigerator and drain off any excess liquid.
- Add the mini marshmallows, chopped walnuts, and whipped topping, then gently stir until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- If you’re using the reserved cranberries for garnish, slice them in half and scatter them over the top of the salad.
Notes
- If you’d like a sweeter cranberry salad, you can increase the sugar to 1 cup to help balance the tart flavor of the cranberries.
- Stir the mixture gently so you don’t crush or break apart the fruit.
- If you have extra time, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before serving so the flavors can blend together.
