This Cranberry Almond Salad is a simple and tasty salad to make for lunch or for a party.  A couple weeks ago, I had to bring a salad for a Teacher’s Appreciation event at my daughter’s school.  I checked out a couple of pins on Pinterest and put this salad together.  It was a big hit and the teachers enjoyed it. Cranberry Almond Salad is a delicious mix of flavors.

I mixed the Cranberry Almond Salad dressing in a mason jar.
