Grammy Salad
Ingredients
- 1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese softened
- 1 (12-oz.) container Cool Whip thawed
- 1 (10-oz.) jar maraschino cherries drained, reserving liquid, halved
- 1 (8-oz.) can crushed pineapple drained
- 1 (10-oz.) bag mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer.
- Add Cool Whip and blend.
- Stir in cherries, pineapple, marshmallows and pecans.
- Add a tablespoon or so of reserved cherry juice, if desired. (Just enough to turn the salad pink.)
- Serve right away, or refrigerate until serving. Store in airtight container.
Notes
*You can substitute frozen sweetened sliced strawberries for the cherries. Thaw and drain, reserving the liquid, and use as you would the cherries.
