Holiday Cranberry Gelatin Salad

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 30 min. + chillingYIELD: 12 servings.

This light, delicious holiday salad is very popular in my family and has been requested every year since I first brought it to Christmas Eve dinner. The refreshing, not-too-sweet flavor is a perfect pairing with just about any meat. —Jennifer Mastnick, Hartville, Ohio
