Hot Mama Grade: A
Hot Mama Notes: Originally, this started out as a fresh cranberry salad (almost like a relish) with only chopped fresh cranberries, the orange juice concentrate, and sugar. But the result (to me) was overpowering and very tart but at the same time ridiculously sweet. I added in the pineapple to increase sweetness. I tried marshmallows, but it didn't give me the taste or desired consistency. The cool whip really transformed the salad into something better. Creami[55er and tastier. The Walnuts added a lot of good substance, texture, and flavor. I really liked this salad and will make it again.
