Cranberry fluff salads or jello salads are often made as side dishes for Thanksgiving or Christmas in the States. I just happened to have a number of things left over from the holidays that would work well together so I combined them all to make this keto-friendly cranberry fluff jello salad recipe. And now I've used up all my leftover cranberry sauce, homemade jello and homemade marshmallows. Go me!
