Frozen Cranberry Salad

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

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.
