• Yield 10 servings
• Ready in 315 minutes

Ingredients

• 12-ounce package fresh cranberries
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
• 2 cups mini marshmallows
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream

Instructions

1. In a food processor (you can use a blender or by hand, also), pulse until the cranberries are coarsely chopped.
2. Add the sugar and pineapple, pulse once or twice, and pour into a container - cover and refrigerate for at least an hour to let the flavors blend.
3. Stir in the marshmallows.
4. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Pour in the cream and whip until stiff peaks form. Fold the creamy mixture into the salad.
5. Cover and refrigerate for four hours or up to overnight. It tastes best, in my opinion, if it has at least 8 hours to hang out before serving.

Dress it just before it goes to the table so the leaves stay crisp.
