Ingredients

• 1 cup Canned pineapple chunks (drained)
• 1 cup Mandarin orange slices (drained)
• 0.5 cup Cranberry jelly (or cranberry sauce)
• 1.5 cups Mini marshmallows
• 1 cup Whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
• 4 oz Cream cheese (softened)
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and cranberry jelly. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend until smooth and evenly combined.

Step 2

Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Step 3

Add the pineapple chunks, mandarin orange slices, and mini marshmallows to the bowl. Stir gently to evenly distribute the ingredients without breaking up the fruit.

Step 4

If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch and flavor.

Step 5

Transfer the salad to a serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and for the salad to set.

Step 6

Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and garnish with additional chopped nuts or a dollop of whipped topping if desired.

Step 7

Serve chilled and enjoy!
