Dessert salad, fluff or whatever you call this wonderful stuff—it’s simple to prepare, beautiful to look at and delicious to eat. It’s also perfect for holiday entertaining, especially in this sweet-tart-tangy rendition. Canned cranberries and chopped pecans add a chewy and crunchy contrast to the creamy base of whipped topping and cream cheese, while mandarin oranges add sweetness (and take the place of the pineapple that’s a dessert salad standby). Serve up a bowl of this pretty pink salad, and watch how quickly it disappears.
