You know, that's just the way it goes, and we can't help it. This creamy-dreamy concoction of tart cranberries loaded with perky pineapples, all mellowed out with a soft marshmallow-y whipped cream and a sprinkling of crisp walnuts, is truly what sweet dreams are made of. It's ok to admit that you too will be dreaming of Cranberry Marshmallow Salad after just one bite. Be that kid again and use your imagination to add a bit of flare back into your menu. Just imagine where it can take you!
