Creamy Cranberry Jell-O Salad Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Fruit Salad Recipes. (Creamy Cranberry Jell-O Salad Recipe). This is my favorite Thanksgiving dish! The sweetness is a nice contrast to the saltiness of the turkey. The walnuts and apples give a nice texture, but make sure they are chopped small enough. The mayo seems like a strange addition, but you don't taste it, and it improves the texture of the cream cheese. Enjoy!
