Instructions
  1. Grind cranberries, marshmallows and orange juice with fine chopper.
  2. Combine this with pineapple, nuts, celery, and sugar.
  3. Let stand while preparing gelatin -- according to directions on package except add 1 1/2 times amount of water.
  4. Mix all together and chill until set.
  5. Garnish with Cool Whip and fresh parsley.
Recipe Notes

***Emmes or Hain SuperFruits are kosher brands of jello that can be purchased at a health food store.

Use the drained pineapple juice -- just combine it with the water to make up the 1 1/2 times the amount called for.  Don't just add it in addition.

PS -- I've found out that Cranberry Salad really needs to be made the night before in order to give it time to set well.
