This recipe card was well used and worn. Can't say I am big fan of fruit salad, especially with raw egg yolks in it #%@!, but I know that is something that is served a lot back then and still today. It's an easy dessert, and easy to bring to someone's house. I do like that this one is simple, just pineapple. I would have thought it would have included mandarin oranges...she always had those on hand!
My other grandma Veronica made this a lot as well. It is so 60's and 70's !! Can't you just see the table....chicken, potato salad and fruit salad!
love, krissy girl
What a blast from the past. I did not like this "salad" at all...strong dislike of marshmallows in a salad...even as a kid. I bet she did throw some "mandarian" oranges in there...she couldn't resist that. H.
