Description

Cranberry Fluff Salad is a classic no-bake holiday treat combining tart cranberries, juicy grapes, sweet pineapple, and mini marshmallows, all folded into a fluffy whipped cream base. Perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or potluck tables, this creamy pink salad is as festive as it is delicious.

Ingredients

12 oz fresh cranberries

1 cup granulated sugar

8 oz crushed pineapple, drained

2 cups mini marshmallows

1 cup seedless red grapes, halved

1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

8 oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

1 cup heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks

Instructions

1. Pulse cranberries in a food processor until finely chopped. Mix with sugar in a large bowl and let sit for at least 1 hour or overnight.

2. Stir in drained crushed pineapple, halved grapes, and mini marshmallows. Add chopped nuts if using.

3. Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks in a separate bowl. Fold in the whipped topping and then combine with the cranberry mixture.

4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

Letting the cranberry and sugar mixture rest helps mellow the tartness and improve texture.

For a more tangy flavor, substitute whipped topping with Greek yogurt plus sweetener.

Always chill the salad before serving to let the marshmallows soften and flavors combine.
