This cool, tangy salad always prompts recipe requests. It must be the combination of tart cranberries, sweet pineapple and pecans in a fluffy base. I appreciate how easy it is to prepare. -Denise Goedeken, Platte Center, Nebraska

We love this recipe! We have served it for holidays for many years and it is a favorite. My kids affectionately call it "Purple Puff".

I did not freeze this because it was really good just as a salad. Everyone loved it!
