• 2 - 16 can(s) oz. cans Ocean Spray Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce
• 1 - 20 can(s) oz. can pineapple chunks in water (not syrup), pieces cut in half
• 2 - 3 whole oranges, peeled, sectioned, and cut in half (or use a small can of mandarin oranges in water, drained)

• 3/4 cup(s) sweetened whipped cream or Healthy Top, optional

Instructions:

• 1. 1) Set a large strainer or colander into a deep bowl. Pour cranberries, pineapple and mandarin oranges (if using canned) into the strainer and drain for three to four hours, covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated.
• 2. 2) Add chopped walnuts and orange segments (if using fresh), and gently mix to combine.
• 3. 3) Transfer to a glass or crystal bowl to show off the pretty color of the salad.
• 4. 4) Spoon or pipe whipped cream on top of the salad around the edges (if using)
