Millionaire Cranberry Salad

Cranberry Salad is the precise side for any turkey dinner!  A delicious combination of fresh homemade cranberry sauce blended with pecans, coconut, marshmallows and pineapple. This salad rings a bell in my memory of my favourite Millionaire Pie recipe with a deliciously tart cranberry twist!

Cranberry salad is referred to as a salad however it’s not surely salad at all (form of like Watergate Salad or Strawberry Banana Salad). It’s almost extra like a dessert salad but we continually serve it on the side of our turkey dinner, like Ambrosia Salad.

Regardless what you call it, my family loves this clean cranberry salad!  sparkling tart of cranberries, juicy pineapple, pecans for crunch all in a candy creamy base! on this recipe I don’t upload all the cranberry sauce to the combination due to the fact I’d like to maintain the consistency a chunk thicker. you can really upload it all in case you’d like however the salad gained’t be quite as thick.
