Why make this Cranberry Salad Recipe: The Cranberry Salad recipe is sweet enough to be considered a dessert and is perfect for those that don’t like straight-up cranberry jelly from the can. The sweet fruit and fresh tart cranberries come together perfectly in this salad. The apples and nuts provide just enough crunchiness to give it great texture.

By stirring up the salad instead of serving it in a mold, it makes the best sweet cranberry relish for your turkey. I love that the fresh cranberries are not cooked, so less time in front of the stove. The Jell-O does need time to set up, so it can be made ahead of time. Growing up, I was NOT a fan of cranberry sauce. Turns out, I actually DO like cranberries, as long as there is enough sweetness to balance out the tartness. Like as in a cranberry scone or white chocolate cranberry cookie. I’ve been on the hunt for a cranberry recipe that I had at a potluck several years ago.

It was so good and completely changed my opinion on cranberry relish-type recipes. I never found out who brought the dish, so couldn’t ask how it was made. Over the years I’ve tested out a few recipes that sounded interesting, but ended up being not quite right. After trying a few different cranberry recipes, I decided the cranberry salad I was trying to replicate had to be jello-based. After a bit of tinkering and combining recipes, I hit the jackpot!
