Cranberry Salad

Submitted by Annacia

"I had this at a friend's house and had to have the recipe. I think it's perfect for the holidays. Easy and yummy, what could be better? Cooking time is refrigeration time. *NOTE: Last time I made this, there was a lot of extra liquid in the strawberries and I ended up having to make another package of Jello with just a small amount of water and add it into the first batch and spread the yogurt on top. Just thought you should know."

Made this pretty much as given, & although it didn't call for it specifically, I did use whole berry cranberry sauce! Also used individually frozen strawberries rather than those frozen in a sauce! I grew up on Jell-O so love these kinds of desserts! Might be great for the holidays, but it's a wonderful treat on a warm day, too! [Made & reviewed in Everyday Is a Holiday recipe tag]
