KELLYMAC'S CRANBERRY WALNUT SALAD



Kellymac's Cranberry Walnut Salad image

This is a delicious salad that is great in the fall or winter. I serve with a balsamic vinagrette dressing. I particularly like Recipe #154351 . This is very easy to make but guests are usually impressed because it is a little more exciting than your standard garden salad.
