Ingredients

Directions

  1. Prepare the raspberry gelatin mix according to the package directions, using slightly less water if you plan to use a mold for a firmer set.
  2. Once the gelatin is dissolved, stir in the plain low-fat yogurt until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
  3. Refrigerate the gelatin mixture for about 30 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a thickened consistency similar to unbeaten egg whites.
  4. Meanwhile, place the fresh cranberries and sugar (or sweetener) into a blender or food processor.
  5. Pulse the mixture until the cranberries are finely chopped but not pureed into a juice.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the thickened gelatin mixture, chopped cranberries, finely chopped celery, chopped walnuts, diced apples, and drained crushed pineapple.
  7. Gently fold all the ingredients together until evenly distributed.
  8. Spoon the mixture into a greased mold or a large serving bowl.
  9. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the salad is completely firm and set.
  10. To serve, if using a mold, run the edges under warm water for a few seconds and invert onto a serving plate. Garnish with fresh mint if desired.
