One of my piano students taught me the perfect lesson in holiday recipes: this fresh cranberry salad. The keys are tangy fruit, fluffy marshmallows and crunchy nuts. —Alexandra Lypecky, Dearborn, Michigan

Ingredients

3 cups fresh or thawed frozen cranberries, chopped
1 can (20 ounces) unsweetened crushed pineapple, drained
2 cups miniature marshmallows
1 medium apple, chopped
2/3 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup chopped walnuts

To serve, beat cream until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream and walnuts into cranberry mixture.

Test Kitchen Tips

Make it easy on yourself: Pulse cranberries in a food processor to chop them. (Here's our Test Kitchen's fave food processor.)

To really bring the walnuts to life, toast them for a few minutes in a dry skillet. Stir occasionally and watch closely so they don't burn. Remove from the heat when fragrant.
