Enjoy this refreshing and festive Cranberry Salad!
For a more intense cranberry flavor, use fresh cranberries that have been frozen and then thawed. This will help to break down their cell structure.
To toast the walnuts, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Allow to cool completely before chopping.
For a less sweet salad, reduce the amount of sugar. You can also substitute a sugar alternative, such as stevia or erythritol.
If you don't have a decorative mold, you can use a loaf pan or a simple serving bowl.
The salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
