Delight your taste buds with the festive flair of Cranberry Jell-O® Salad with Walnuts. Start by preparing cranberry-flavored gelatin according to package instructions, infusing the dish with the tart essence of cranberries.
As the gelatin begins to set, fold in a generous amount of chopped walnuts. The nuts provide a delightful crunch and nutty undertone, adding a layer of complexity to the otherwise smooth and jiggly texture of the Jell-O®.
Incorporate canned cranberry sauce for an extra burst of cranberry flavor and a touch of sweetness. The combination of the gelatin and cranberry sauce creates a vibrant and visually appealing base for the salad.
For a creamy and indulgent twist, blend in whipped cream or Greek yogurt. The creamy addition provides a velvety richness that complements the tartness of the cranberries and the crunch of the walnuts.
Consider adding finely chopped celery for a refreshing and crisp element. The celery adds a subtle savory note, balancing the sweetness and enhancing the overall texture of the salad.
Allow the Cranberry Jell-O® Salad with Walnuts to fully set in the refrigerator, ensuring a firm and cohesive texture. The result is a visually appealing and irresistibly delicious dessert or side dish, perfect for holiday feasts or any festive occasion.

Feedback of Cranberry Jell-O® Salad with Walnuts Recipes
Omitting the apple this is the recipe my mom and grandmother made. I only change is the walnuts to black walnuts and toast them before chopping them.
We love this! We make it for Thanksgiving every year. It tastes just like the one my aunt made every year at our big family gathering when I was a kid. I was picky, but I dared to try it and found it I really liked it. Now that I have 10 kids of my own and make Thanksgiving dinner for my own family, I went searching for a recipe that matched the one my aunt must have used. And this tastes just like it! My kids and husband are very happy that I added it to our menu. We keep it special and only make it for Thanksgiving.
A little too sweet four out taste.
Very good taste, still enjoying it
I prefer using raspberry gelatin instead. Everyone e always loves this!
This is a great substitute for plain old cranberry at the Thanksgiving table, and everyone loves it. In fact, they go hunting in the fridge for it the next day before the ‘heavy’ foods are even given a second thought.
I would make this again. I took it to a Christmas party and everyone liked it a lot. It was a hit.
This was a great addition to our Valentine's dinner. I made it with raspberry jello instead of cherry, but I think any red jello would work. I might add a little more water as it was a bit sweet. Otherwise very tasty.
This was a hit, everyone loved it.
