Millionaire Cranberry Salad Recipe
A colorful blend of fresh cranberries, fluffy mini marshmallows, crunchy nuts, and juicy pineapple in one salad. We love making Millionaire Cranberry Salad for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and special occasions. Especially if we want to wow our guests with an extra fantastic dish. It is almost like Ambrosia Salad, but with a few substitutions and add-ons. Oh, and in terms of flavor, it’s nothing like Ambrosia, it’s better!

INGREDIENTS
For Salad
- 2 cups plain greek yogurt
- 2 cups canned pineapple
- 2 cups mini marshmallows, I used tri-color
- 1 cup walnuts chopped, or pecans, almonds
- 2 cups coconut flakes
For Cranberry Sauce
- 3 cups fresh cranberries
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 cup orange juice
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
INSTRUCTIONS
- Homemade Cranberry sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine cranberries, sugar, orange juice and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer 12 minutes. Let the mixture cool completely. The sauce will thicken upon cooling).
- In a large bowl add yogurt, juicy pineapple, marshmallows, nuts, coconut. Pour in the cooled cranberry mixture (only about 1 ½ cups) and mix to combine. Let sit 3 hours in the fridge.
- In the end you’ll be left with some extra cranberry sauce which you can use for pancakes, waffles, and cereals.
- Serve the salad any time of year but it's more commonly enjoyed during the holiday season, at Christmas dinners. It's the perfect dish from the traditional classics, with a twist.
