This recipe was pulblished by Dole and is my favorite cranberry salad. It has become one of my most requested sides for our traditional holiday meals. This can be made with sugar free Jell-0 to reduce the calories without sacrificing taste at all. It is also a great make ahead dish for the busy holidays.
