Cranberry Apple Salad

This pretty pink fruit salad is easy to make and will feed a crowd.  A nice change from your everyday salad, and it has a lot of great textures going on.  This needs to set up in the fridge before serving, so it is also a great make ahead side to add to any meal.

I received this recipe from a RS apple activity; not sure who to claim as the owner.  I followed exactly except I cut the marshmallow quantity in half.

A few hours before serving:
