Cranberry Ambrosia Salad

This Cranberry Ambrosia Salad combines all the best flavors of the season! Fresh cranberries, pineapple, whipped cream, and marshmallows - a wonderful Thanksgiving or Christmas dessert side dish recipe!

Cranberries are such a unique fruit to me. Overly tangy and somewhat bitter on their own, the minute you combine it with something sweet the flavor just shines out. My mom has made homemade cranberry sauce for years, but I will admit, give me the canned jellied sauce any day of the week!
Sweetened dried cranberries I absolutely love. I use them in cookies especially because they pair so well with cookie dough of all kinds. When the beginning of November rolls around, I see bags of bright red cranberries in the produce section of my local supermarkets and I always grab one or two - even though, for the most part, I don't really know what to do with them!

This recipe for Cranberry Ambrosia Salad is it! Tangy, sweet, and creamy all in one fabulous dessert salad. I would definitely serve this as an alternative to cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, or as a fruit cocktail appetizer. I just love versatile recipes like this one!
