Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (16 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 1 (8 ounce) container whipped topping
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 cup miniature marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the cranberry sauce and sweetened condensed milk. Stir thoroughly until well integrated.
  2. Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is uniform and fluffy, being careful not to overmix.
  3. Add the drained crushed pineapple, miniature marshmallows, and chopped nuts. Stir gently until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to set.
  5. Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir.
  6. Serve chilled and enjoy this delightful Cranberry Fluff Salad!

Notes

  • Thoroughly drain pineapple: Squeeze out as much liquid as possible to prevent a watery salad.
  • Chill well: Overnight chilling yields the best flavor and texture.
  • Gentle folding: Maintain the airiness of the whipped topping by folding gently.
  • Nut variations: Feel free to toast your nuts for enhanced flavor, or substitute with sunflower seeds for a nut-free option.
