I have a recipe we call pink salad - easy to make but a bit expensive. Here goes:
Can of cherry pie filling
Condensed milk
Mix well
Add pineapple bits and chopped mandarin oranges
Add bag of coconut and 6 oz chopped pecans or walnuts
Mix well again
Add large cool whip and stir gently
Add one bag marshmellows.
Fold it in
Put in frig overnight. It makes enough for an army, so use a large bowl
I get requests for this at all the potluck functions
