Cranberry Fluff Salad is a new Thanksgiving side dish I am making this year. It is a Southern tradition on most holiday tables this time of year.

This delicious salad combines ground cranberries, sugar, crushed pineapple, mini marshmallows, and whipped cream. Of course, if you love this fluff salad as much as I do, you can make so many other variations.

How to Make Cranberry Fluff Salad

To make this salad, you will need the following ingredients —

Fresh Cranberries
White Sugar
Crushed pineapple, drained
Mini Marshmallows
Heavy Cream

Chop the cranberries in a blender or food processor. If you cannot find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen.

Once the cranberries have been chopped up, add the sugar and mix. Now, cover them and place them in the refrigerator overnight.

The next day, mix the mini marshmallows, the cranberry mixture, and the drained crushed pineapple.

In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Now, fold in the whipped cream to the other components until mixed well.

Chill the salad until ready to serve.

That's it! This salad is the perfect side dish to have at Thanksgiving. It goes great alongside the best-fried turkey, Old Fashioned Sage Cornbread Dressing, the best Deviled Eggs, and Bobby Flay's Parker House Yeast Rolls.
