Ingredients

Scale

1 can (15 oz) cherry pie filling

1 cup mini marshmallows

1 cup crushed pineapple (drained)

1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

8 oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip) or homemade whipped cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

Prep your bowl and ingredients: Choose a medium mixing bowl that will comfortably hold all ingredients without spilling. Drain the pineapple well to avoid soggy salad.
Combine fruits and nuts: Gently fold the cherry pie filling, drained crushed pineapple, and chopped nuts together. Keep cherries intact for texture and color.
Mix in the marshmallows: Add mini marshmallows to the fruit mixture, folding slowly to distribute evenly without sinking.
Add whipped topping: Spoon in whipped topping or gently fold in homemade whipped cream. Stir in vanilla extract if using. Avoid overmixing to keep fluffy and light.
Chill and let flavors marry: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (up to 4 hours) to soften marshmallows and blend flavors.
Serve cold: Stir gently before serving. Serve in bowls or clear glass dishes to showcase cherry pieces.
