How to Make Cranberry And Marshmallow Salad

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine 12 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries, 1 cup mini marshmallows, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
  2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight to allow the cranberries to release their juices and the flavors to meld.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cranberry mixture.
  4. Add 1 cup chopped apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts to the cranberry mixture. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend completely. Garnish with extra marshmallows or chopped walnuts, if desired.
