Marg notes: I've made it with both but prefer dried cranberries that sit around in the dressing for a couple of hours.

Oh how nice! I love that salad too and find it's often the first thing to be polished off on a

hoiday buffet table.

post script here: I like it best with dried cranberries like Pat.

Just to keep the recipe true, Pat posted it with fresh. I am the one who prefers the dried guys.

I don't want to be putting words in Pat's mouth. Sorry, I need to find another way to add my notes.

 

[CathyZ]

uh...okay. whatever. I like dried.

Made the salad to go with last night's dinner and it was declared a winner.
