Fluffy Cranberry Mousse
Total Time: Prep: 15 min. + chilling，Makes: 20 servings
This is a delicious and pretty salad for the holidays, but it’s so good that I serve it at other times, too. I got the recipe from a neighbor who had served it with a traditional turkey dinner. —Helen Clement, Hemet, California
