    FROZEN CRANBERRY SALAD — This fluffy pink holiday salad features fresh cranberries, pineapple, marshmallows and whipped cream.


    Frozen Cranberry Salad

    I love this Frozen Cranberry Salad!  I think my husband and kids love it even more than I do. It’s one of the easiest dishes to prepare on my Thanksgiving menu.

    Seriously, the hardest thing about this cranberry salad is deciding whether to serve it as a side dish or a dessert.

    I just finished making this and put it in the freezer for Thanksgiving. It was easy to make and tastes wonderful too! This is a five star recipe….tasty and easy. ~ Deb

    This salad is simple, delicious and can be made ahead of time.  Which is a big bonus during the busy holiday season.

    The recipe makes a ton, but it’s always one of the first things to go when it makes an appearance at our holiday table. We rarely have more than a day’s worth of leftovers.

    Rather than freezing, you can just chill this in the refrigerator before serving, although I find it holds up very well when frozen, even when thawed completely.  Just be sure to drain the pineapple well.

    If you like some extra crunch, you can also add a cup or so of chopped pecans.


    Be sure to save this Frozen Cranberry Salad recipe to your favorite Pinterest board for later.

      This sounds delicious, but 50 grams of carbs? Is that per serving? Definitely not a dessert for diabetics!
