We have always used acini de pepe for this salad and referred to it as Frog Eye Salad. We omit the cherries and use three cans of mandarin oranges(whole) as well as a cup of mini marshmallows. We can't have a family gathering without it!

This recipe makes A LOT of salad, I would cut in half until you know your group likes it. It was very tasty, I wasnt able to chill over night but otherwise followed the recipe. Tt was very light and tasty, sweet but not too sweet. Good summer salad!

This salad is a hit! had 15 people over for a multiple birthday celebration this weekend and Everyone had seconds! Yes, it Does make alot and I did have leftovers, but the leftovers were gone the next day. The changes I made were to use the Extra Creamy Cool Whip, I ommited the cherries and used fresh blackberries and raspberries. Also, I added a splash of Real Mexican Vanilla while cooking the pineapple mixture.

I sent this with DH today for a company picnic and he came home with requests for copies of the recipe, so I guess it was a hit. I made only half a recipe, which was plenty and replaced the cherries with strawberries. I will make it again for our annual Memorial Day BBQ and add more fruit. Thanks for the great recipe.

This is also known as ambrosa salad and this recipe is DELICIOUS!! I made it for a bridal shower and so many people commented that it was the best ambrosia salad they've ever had!!! This salad does feed a lot more than the number of servings listed though--we doubled it because we were having 20+ people and it was way too much--but luckily it was so good that people took containers home!

Everyone that tried this recipe loved it--if they can get over eating pasta with a fruit salad!

I found this to be very mediocre. I do not like pasta and fruit combined. It serves more like 58 than 8. Way too much salad, half my guests didn't eat theirs.

This was very good, different from the regular ambrosia salad, but still tasted similar. I can't say it was a huge hit, hence the 4 stars, but it was worth making. I may use this one again. I cut the recipe in HALF and it STILL made a ton (enough for 15-20 easy). Next time it will be one quarter of the original!

This salad is great! It makes a lot though, so you might want to cut it in half. Thanks for the recipe.

I've tried this before, but it was called "Rosamarina Salad." It's a nice, light treat, however, I will add a little more sugar next batch I make. Not sweet enough for my taste, even with the addition of the whipped topping. Also, I might consider chopped pineapple instead of crushed next time as well.

I have looked for this recipe for years and was so glad to have finally found it. A relative of mine made this years ago and I asked for the recipe, but never received it. I used one can of fruit cocktail and chopped up two bananas and an orange and threw it in there. It was delicious! Thanks for giving me a new dish for this Easter that I will use many times over!

I've been making this for years, and never knew it had a name! This is an unusual salad, but is very well received. It's cool and refreshingly sweet, but not sugar-ey. Good w/grilled chicken.

I love this recipe, however I have made this in the past and I use Acini De Pepe pasta and the kids go wild! We have called it Frog egg Salad in the past!
