Sharlene~W, I made this last nite and it is gone less than 24 hours later! Great recipe, tasted just like the real thing! I did leave the cherries out though cause I was looking for "authentic" but just the same, superb! TY

My DH usually doesn't care for "fluffy salads" especially ones with pineapple in them. However, when he had this at a church supper he told me to make sure to get the recipe. The recipe the lady at church gave me is slightly different from this one but she had gotten it from an elderly lady and she questioned if the amounts were right. I have a feeling your recipe is probably more accurate (hers doesn't contain cherries). Glad to see it posted here!
