This salad has become one of my favorites! In fact, I like it so much I've made it seveal times in one month. I used 1 and 1/2 apples, peeled, and sliced, then cut into small (1/4-inch by 1/4-inch) cubes. I also used 1(8-ounce) can crushed pineapple, well-drained-pressing the pineapple on the side of the can and extracting as much juice as possible. I'm not a huge fan of jell-o salads that contain celery, so I omitted it. My family liked the smaller pieces of apple rather than the larger chunks-it made for a pretty presentation. I used an 8-inch by 8-inch square baking dish. This was an exceptional salad-thanks for sharing it.

I loved it. Absolutely delicious and innovative recipe for a cranberry addict like myself. I was hesitant about the celery because I typically don't eat raw celery but the crunch factor is a nice texture. I used sour Granny Smiths for the apple which if I do say so myself was a good choice. The walnuts are essential to this recipe and unless you have a nut allergy you are missing out if you omit them. I can't remember enjoying cranberries this much in years. Great recipe, Ms. Bloomers.

This is similar to a jello salad I've made at Thanksgiving for years. You can use Cranberry jello for a little change, plus I add a small can of well-drained pineapple tidbits and a good sized handful of sweetened dried cranberries. My family always loves it at the holidays. Thanks - KK

When I was home for Thanksgiving, I made this salad for our dinner, and the whole family thought it was delicious, especially one grandson who is normally picky. I plan to make this salad again, soon, since it's too good just to serve over the holidays. Thank you, Iron Bloomers, for such a good recipe.
