"Just like my Grandma use to make" is what I hear everytime I make this salad.. It is great for big gatherings and light enough to serve on hot summer days.. Sometimes, if I have maraschino cherries, I cut them in half and place on top of the prepared salad.. I personally think chopped pecans go best in this salad.. Just my 2 cents... :) Try it- it's YUMMY!

This was very good, and enjoyed by all the people at my Small Group. I made my own Whipped Cream by beating about a cup of heavy whipping cream until thickened, and added that instead of Cool Whip, because I don't care for anything to be too intensely sweet. Many people commented that they loved the toned-down sweetness. My husband said he knew that people used to add coconut; That may be a good addition as well.
