This is so yummy, I can't quit picking at it in the fridge. I chopped the cherries up first so they would be evenly dispersed in the salad. I don't like to get a big ol' piece of cherry in a bite. I also added a small box of instant French vanilla pudding. I mixed it in first with the whipped topping. Perfecto!

i made this for my baby shower, a little girl, and it turned out excellent. i didn't add the coconut because my husband can't stand it...no one noticed. im going to try it with 10 oz of condensed milk next time though.

We loved this! I gave it a 4 because without my adjustments I don't think it would have been as good. I used 2 cans of cherry pie filling and 3 cups of marshmallows. Next time I'll try adding some bananas too.

This salad has a special place in my heart. Many church potlucks I've attended has had this lovely salad, which I've always parked myself right by to make sure I got my fair share. It's sure to hold it's own on any occasion and I swear to you, it always disappears. TIP: It's good with bananas and chopped walnuts or pecans, too. Just make sure that if you make it with bananas, toss them with a little lemon juice to slow down the browning.

Delicious! Really simple to make and tastes great! Only one problem... it makes a very large amount and is very addictive, so make sure you divvy up the leftovers ;)

This salad was good, but I am only giving it 4 stars because I feel like the recipe needs modifications to make it really good. I did not use coconut because the group I made it for does not like coconut. Also, I added 2 sliced bananas, which were a nice compliment. Lastly the most critical change for this salad to be excellent is whip up 12 oz of heavy whipping cream and use that instead of cool whip. The salad is plenty sweet without the addition of more sweetness from the cool whip. The whipped heavy cream adds the creaminess the salad needs, without taking the sweetness factor over the top.

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
