cranberry salad
Festive red dish
Cranberry salad is a sweet, often gelatin-based side dish featuring cranberries, typically served at American holiday meals like Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Versions range from molded Jell-O salads with fruit cocktail and whipped cream to fresh preparations with apples, nuts, and marshmallows: Aunt Ruth always brings her cranberry salad.
Despite the name, it functions more as a relish or dessert than a leafy salad.
