Growing up I had too many “sunshine” salads, though they were called something else. I detested any “salad” which had marshmallows, pineapple, maraschino cherries, or jello mixed in. I never understood how these lovely creations were salad, though they were honest attempts to get us to eat fruit. Always canned fruits, too. Maybe that was my real aversion?
Now, a plain jello salad with whipped cream? That I could do! I did have my preferences, even as a child. Thus, no surprises here when the grands come over and have their own opinions on my gourmet lunch service.
Maybe I should try a Jello salad with them?
