Here is a salad that is quite different than just greens. We have this colorful salad at Thanksgiving and Christmas. I may even make one or two more times before cranberry season is gone, if I am lucky.
CRANBERRY SALAD
From Renee Winter, 2011
This recipe is delicious, sweet, tart and crunchy. If you use green and red apples like, granny smith, golden delicious, braeburn, Fuji, pink lady or any other crunchy apple, it makes a beautifully colored salad.
INGREDIENTS:
1 bag of fresh Cranberries – chopped (12 - 16 oz)
3-4 crisp apples – diced (leave the skin on)
½ Cup Sugar
1 Large package of regular raspberry, strawberry or cherry Jello
½-1 Cup chopped nuts
DIRECTIONS:
Place chopped cranberries, apples and nuts in bowl and mix together.
In small bowl, mix sugar and Jello together.
Boil some water and mix just enough (maybe 1/3 to 1/2 cup) to dilute the Jello/sugar mixture until Jello is deluted.
Add to mixture and toss well.
Refrigerate for at least an hour and serve.
NOTE: I have often wondered about making this with diet Jello and substitue sugar. If anyone does it, let me know how it comes out.
PS: Just an FYI, this does not come out like a gelatin salad. All the fruits and nuts are all separate and tastes wonderful.
