HEAVENLY SALAD



Heavenly Salad image

This is just what our family thinks of when we eat this recipe. This is a recipe that my mother, Ruth made when I was a child and has been one of my own children's favorites as well. This recipe gives me special memories of all the wonderful food my mother cooked when I was a child as well as today when we visit her home. I normally add extra sugar and red food coloring to make the dessert light pink. You can add sugar as you desire for a sweeter taste if you prefer.

Time 30m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 egg yolks (beaten)
4 tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons vinegar
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks (drained)
1 (6 1/2 ounce) package miniature marshmallows
1 cup pecans
1 1/2 pints whipping cream, not whipped, pour directly in (3 small cartons)
1 (8 -10 ounce) jar maraschino cherries (drain & slice)

Steps:

  • Mix together egg yolks, sugar and vinegar.
  • Cook in a double boiler until thick.
  • Let mixture cool.
  • Add other ingredients to mixture when cooled. Mix together and chill overnight.
  • Add extra sugar and red food coloring to add a light color if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe limes: The riper the limes, the more juice and flavor they will have. Look for limes that are deep green in color and feel heavy for their size.
  • Zest the limes before juicing them: This will release the essential oils from the lime peel, which will add flavor to your salad.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, mint, and basil, can add a lot of flavor to your salad. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but they will not be as flavorful.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing can make the salad soggy and oily.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Lime salads are best served immediately after they are made. The longer they sit, the more the lime juice will "cook" the vegetables, making them soft and mushy.

Conclusion:

Lime salads are a refreshing and flavorful way to enjoy fresh vegetables. They are perfect for a light lunch or dinner, or as a side dish. With so many different variations to choose from, there is sure to be a lime salad recipe that everyone will enjoy.
