My sister-in-law makes a yummy raw cranberry salad:

raw cranberries chopped in food processor
mini marshmallows
chopped pecans
chopped up apples
fresh (real) whipped cream

it's good:D

That last one sounds yummy! And so does the one Renee posted.

Mine isn't really "seasonal" ie cranberries, or fancy, but I always make jello with ice cream. Sounds strange, but use a cup of vanilla ice cream instead of cold water. (make two of the small packages of whatever flavor jello the normal way with...I think 2 cups of hot water) I use mixed fruit flavor. And instead of 2 cups of cold water, mix in the vanilla ice cream till it melts.

As it cools in the fridge, you will get this creamy pink layer on top, and the bottom half will be plain jello. It's actually very good. :p

I used to work in a restaurant and help on Saturday's making our salad bar, and we had a pepsi cola jello salad that was really good. I can't remember the exact recipe, but it had orange jello, cream cheese, pepsi for the water, and walnuts. It was creamy and really delicious.

Now that sounds like something to try! :)

When I was pregnant with Gabe I was working at HyVee in the Salad Bar, so we would get the salad bar up (imagine that:p ) and also do all the packaging of fruit, mixed fruit, strawberries and dip, specials like chocolate covered strawberries, etc. One of the gals there made this really good salad that had tapioca pudding, pineapple, whipped cream...and I want to say something else, like little marshmallows maybe? It was awesome!
