Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 can(s) sweetened condensed milk
1 8 oz. container whipped topping, thawed
1 can(s) pineapple tidbits, drained well (20 oz.)
1 can(s) crushed pineapple, drained well (8 oz.)
1 can(s) cherry pie filling (21 oz.)
1 1/2 c mini marshmallows

  • 2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together sweetened condensed milk and thawed whipped topping until very well combined.
  • 3. Add remaining ingredients; fold in until very well combined.
  • 4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • 5. Serve well chilled; garnish with mint leaves or as desired. Cover and refrigerate leftovers.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cherries: Fresh cherries have the best flavor and texture for this salad. If fresh cherries are not available, you can use frozen or canned cherries, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Pit the cherries: Be sure to pit the cherries before adding them to the salad. A cherry pitter can make this task easier.
  • Use a variety of nuts: This salad is a great way to use up leftover nuts. You can use any type of nut you like, such as almonds, walnuts, pecans, or pistachios.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the salad.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The cherries will start to lose their color and flavor if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This heavenly cherry salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its sweet cherries, crunchy nuts, and creamy dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
