Jello Cranberry Salad

Teresa Ambra
Jello Cranberry Salad is a lovely and festive congealed salad that's great for holiday entertaining. It's especially nice for Thanksgiving or Christmas when traditionally turkey or ham are served. This salad is made with strawberry Jello, crushed pineapple, whole berry cranberry sauce, apples, and celery. It's so mouthwateringly good that even the pickiest eaters love this salad. Gluten free.
