HEAVENLY PINK DESSERT SALAD

This perfectly pink fruit and cool whip concoction is more of a dessert than a salad, but oh so good. SO EASY! Similar recipes are posted, but none with cream cheese,which I think gives it a great rich flavor. It makes a ton, but keeps for at least a week in the fridge. You could always scale down, and could be easily made with fat free substitutions.

HEAVENLY SALAD

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.
