My paternal grandmother always served a “salad” with any proper meal. That could be a green salad, fruit salad, Jell-O salad, canned pear with cheese, mayo and maraschino cherry on lettuce, or a frozen salad. I always thought the frozen salads should be dessert! Some had sweetened condensed milk and whipped cream…mercy. They were all delicious and still taste like “childhood.”
This frozen cranberry salad is a holiday tradition in our family. I always wondered why we didn’t have it the rest of the year. Maybe my healthier version will be a little more guilt free! Or, a popsicle.
