Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Canned pineapple chunks (drained)
- 1 cup Mandarin orange slices (drained)
- 0.5 cup Cranberry jelly (or cranberry sauce)
- 1.5 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 cup Whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- 4 oz Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and cranberry jelly. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend until smooth and evenly combined.
Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the pineapple chunks, mandarin orange slices, and mini marshmallows to the bowl. Stir gently to evenly distribute the ingredients without breaking up the fruit.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch and flavor.
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and for the salad to set.
Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and garnish with additional chopped nuts or a dollop of whipped topping if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
