Pink Salad

The original recipe is called Cranberry Soufflé Salad, but that name was too hard for our children to say, so this family favorite became known as Pink Salad. It was first tasted at Thanksgiving in 1987 at the home of Jack and Kathleen, where sentimental memories began for us. I have served it in our home every year since, and it’s a special treat for Thanksgiving or Christmas.
