Ingredients

• 1 cup Crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
• 1 cup Cherry pie filling
• 2 cups Mini marshmallows
• 2 cups Whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip, thawed)
• 1 cup Sweetened condensed milk
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed pineapple and cherry pie filling. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors.

Step 2

Fold in the sweetened condensed milk until fully incorporated.

Step 3

Add the mini marshmallows and gently mix to ensure they are evenly coated with the mixture.

Step 4

Gently fold in the whipped topping, being careful not to deflate it. Mix until the salad is a uniform pink color.

Step 5

If using, stir in the chopped pecans for added texture and crunch.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the marshmallows to soften.

Step 7

Serve chilled as a side dish or dessert. Garnish with additional whipped topping or a sprinkle of pecans if desired.
