My mom's use of red and green cherries to decorate dishes at Christmastime inspired me to create my holiday-themed molded salad. It's cool, creamy and fun to serve guests.

I would have liked this salad more if it had a bit more crunch to it.

This salad is a little bit sweet for my taste, but it's still very good.

I'm not a huge fan of marshmallows, but they actually worked really well in this salad.
