The holidays are upon us and I find myself busy in preparation for a festive feast. As I write out the menu for my holiday table, I can not forget about my creamy cranberry salad. I just can’t picture Thanksgiving or Christmas without it! I remember the first time I watched someone make this salad; I was amazed about how incredibly easy it is to make. Prepare it this holiday season and delight your guests!
