To serve, unmold the salad onto a serving platter. Garnish with fresh raspberries or a sprig of mint for an elegant presentation.
For a richer flavor, consider using freshly squeezed orange and lemon juice.
If you prefer a smoother salad, you can pulse the cranberry sauce in a food processor before adding it to the gelatin mixture.
To unmold the salad easily, lightly grease the mold with cooking spray before pouring in the mixture.
For a vegetarian option, use agar-agar instead of Jell-O.
