Fresh Cranberry Pecan Salad
"This salad is my daughter and mother's favorite Thanksgiving recipe. I used to make it every year for the teachers at my children's school--they RAVED over it. After Thanksgiving, I like to have it as a snack over plain yogurt. It is absolutely to die for!"

I really owe this recipe a review. I've made it dozens and dozens of times over the last two years. It's easy, colorful, fresh, light, satisfying and addictive. Fabulously addictive. I recommend using fresh oranges and pineapple. 27* Chef #738454. -
Delicious concoction.....I increased the sugar slightly. Very good. -
Very well enjoyed at all holiday parties by everyone! It's just a perfect flavor/color/taste combination. -
Well, I was skeptical when I came across this but wanted something different for Thanksgiving leftovers as my usual cooked cranberry sauce recipe was all eaten. This was delicious and the more it sat in the fridge, the tastier it got. It's now leftovers from Christmas time and I find myself making a second batch. Thanks for the recipe-it's a keeper.
