MOM'S FROZEN FRUIT SALAD
My kids think this salad is as much a dessert as a salad. It's a real
treat on a hot Summer day.
Yields--6 servings
Ingredients
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup whipping cream
5-6 large marshmallows, cut into pieces
1/4 cup mandarin orange slices
1 pound can fruit cocktail
2 tablespoons maraschino cherries, chopped
1 tablespoon nuts, chopped
Directions
Blend cream cheese, mayonnaise and lemon juice.
Beat egg whites until foam; add in sugar until stiff peaks form.
Beat into cream cheese mixture.
Add rest of ingredients.
Pour into 8" square pan and freeze.
Set out a few minutes before serving.
