Did I mention how amazing this salad is?
I wish you could come over now and try a spoonful because I just made it for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow.
My husband gave it a taste test and he said it’s perfect! He’s the one I like to please the most since he raves… and I like when he does that.
Makes me happy… and thankful!
It’s chocked full of cranberries, pineapple, orange and walnuts.
It’s crunchy, sweet and tart and just plain mouth-watering.
Raspberry balances the cranberries very nicely.
I’ve served this dish at family holiday dinners for over 15 years and get compliments every single occasion.
I think you will truly enjoy this amazing treat.
Happy Thanksgiving and may God bless your time with family and friends on this very special holiday…
