The best holiday dessert ever, especially if I don't have to share

I had Pink Salad once a long time ago at a church potluck or something and hunted for the recipe FOREVER before I finally found one I like. So when Kim posted her Thanksgiving menu, I decided to share my recipe with my internet people (all three of you).

I've heard it called all sorts of dorky names, including Heavenly Hash, but it will always be Pink Salad to me, so...

Pink Salad

1 large container Cool Whip
1 large can crushed pinapple, drained well
1 can Eagle Brand milk (sweetened condensed)
1 can cherry pie filling
Small bag marshmallows
1 cup chopped nuts (completely optional, if you want to ruin it)

Mix all and refrigerate overnight. I don't add all the marshmallows, personally, but that's really a matter of preference, as are the nuts, which I do NOT add because I think it's gross. But, you know, whatever floats your boat.

Share with others unless you're stingy and mean. Otherwise, hide and eat it all before you're discovered. It tastes better that way. :)

YUM.
