This is really a good salad/dessert. I, like another reviewer, thought it tasted better after letting it set overnight. It had time for the flavors to mellow together. I didn't change anything in the recipe. It's a keeper, Thanks Debra

My grandmother introduced me to this salad at a very young age. She used to make it in her cafe, almost 40 years ago. I use this salad at holidays and for church potlucks, and it never gets a bad review. In fact, this is the same recipe that my family has used for many years. I love this salad!!1

My family loves this salad. I've also used strawberry pie filling and blueberry pie filling...both were equally delicious!

I had wondered if all these ingredients, combined, would create a new taste (whole greater than sum of its parts?). Since I happened to have these things on had I thought I'd give it a try. If you can imagine cool whip + condensed milk, tossed with canned fruit, that is the taste. If that sounds good, you'll probably like this recipe...for me it was just way too sweet.

This recipe is very easy to prepare and it is delicious. It makes a large bowl so it goes a long way.

This is a wonderful recipe. It makes a large size bowl so don't double unless you plan on having 50+ people! YUMMO!

We call this "Pink Thing" at out house. And everyone loves it!! It's always the first to finish. We use a can of cherry pie filling, a can of condensed milk, small container of cool whip, a can of crushed pineapple, coconut and chopped pecans to taste. It's better made in advance so that the flavors blend together. Yum-O!!

Pretty damn good! Definitely not good for you but not too bad, health wise. It was a hit and everyone liked it at our 4th of July party.

WOW, This was good. A nice change from the green watergate salad. (I've been to too many potlucks) I've made this 3 times now and has turned out great. One time I used a cheap pie filling and was kind of dissapointed. The other 2 times I used comstock and it turned out well. After the first time I used 2 can of pie filling and 2 can mandarin oranges. I bought those toasted almonds that are next to the croutons in the store and it was excellent!

Heavenly Pink Salad was by far the best fruit salad that I have ever ate. In this recipe I used the new pastel colored, fruit flavored marshmallows, they gave the fruit salad a nice twist, I deleted the coconuts because I personally don't care for coconut. I prepared it for my sisters babyshower, I didn't have to wait to see what the guest thought about it because I dived into it myself and thought Mm-mm this is heavenly, needless to say my guest said this is not just good this is delicious!

Pretty darn good. I really liked the cherries in this and think I'd probably double the amount as a result, and opt to either reduce or omit the coconut. I am a big coconut fan, but I didn't really like the texture wars goin' on. This makes a HUMUNGOUS amount! Thankfully, I used all non-fat ingredients (sugar free cherry pie filling, fat free sweetened condensed milk, and fat free cool whip).

Served this for Thanksgiving and it didn't last long. Everyone LOVED it. I made it with Cool Whip Light,and with fatfree condensed milk to cut the calories some. Still fantastic.

This dish received rave reviews at my daughter's first birthday party - I used fat-free sweetened condensed milk and whipped topping and you would not have known it. Plus it was one of the easiest dishes I made this weekend. I had to omit the nuts, but I was thinking next time I would sprinkle toasted coconut on top for a different twist.

Heavenly! Was a big hit with our friends. Fluffy, loved the flavor. I did not add the marshmallows, I just don't like the texture of them in salads.

I had my 6 year old son help me make this for dinner party one night. Very easy to make and so tasty!! Everyone loved it except for two people who don't like the texture of coconut. They did like the taste, however. We made it exactly as the recipe called for. The only thing I would change is maybe reserve some without coconut since that is the only negative I heard. Thanks for a great recipe!

Yummy!! It is so quick and easy, and what a pretty pink color! It's just like the dessert Ambrosia or Heaven, but I think it is better. My husband and son really love it too! Thanks.
