This salad is simply lovely! A former teacher at our elementary school, Charissa, brought this to a carry-in and I just had to have the recipe. Since, I have taken this side dish to many events and made it for my family. It’s one of those salads, that when you take a bite, it’s like…”What is in this?” It couldn’t be more delicious! Substituting fat free cream cheese and cool whip lowers the calories and doubling the recipe for a larger crowd works well. This salad is easy to make and loved by many.

Wow! These look tasty! Have you ever tried any other fruit besides pineapple?
Great idea Rach! What fruit were you thinking? The first that came to my mind… A can of cherry pie filling. That makes me want some now!
Ha! That is exactly what we were thinking too! I think strawberries sound good also
