You can use a hand-blender, food processor, or any suitable chopper for this step.
- I prefer using a Braun hand-blender with its accompanying small cup designed for chopping. Ensure not to overfill it, keeping it at 1/4 to 1/2 capacity to achieve proper mincing.
-
Mix Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the minced cranberries, sugar, crushed pineapple, and black walnuts.
- Mix well and refrigerate the mixture for at least an hour, ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together. This step can be done up to 3 days in advance.
-
Whip Cream:
- Prior to serving or in the morning, whip the heavy whipping cream until it forms stiff peaks.
- Set aside for later use.
-
Incorporate Marshmallows:
- Add the mini marshmallows to the cranberry mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
-
Fold in Whipped Cream:
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cranberry mixture until thoroughly combined.
- Take care not to deflate the whipped cream; a light and airy texture is desired.
-
Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate the salad until ready to serve, allowing it to set and chill for the best flavor.
- Serve chilled and enjoy the burst of delightful flavors in every bite!
