Never ever bought a pint of miracle whip but I may have to make an exception for this one.

I think we’re all our own toughest critics because when I saw this photo, I thought it looked great! I was ready for some sort of major disaster (lol, I’ve posted my fair share…makes you wonder about the ones I haven’t posted)! I think the gentle pink is nice and the suspended fruit makes it look really appetizing and summery. And I have to say, that Miracle Whip caught me by surprise, but thinking about it, I could definitely see how it could work so I’ll have to try this one of these days (sort of like how sour cream in cake frostings/custards always seemed foreign to me…until I tried it). Thanks for a great entry!

Oh Lydia – put me in the Miracle Whip loving category too!

Sandie – I think this looks lovely and am so glad you posted it!

NP – Me too!

Peter – I love that you termed this a “mosaic of fruit dotted on the inside.” That statement puts this dessert’s appearance in such a better light! In retrospect, I shouldn’t have been so hard on this frozen fruit salad. After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder (or salad eater).

Lydia – LOL!! I had no idea you had such a serious Miracle Whip addiction. While I personally like Miracle Whip (it’s so tangy and different), I’m actually a Hellman’s mayonnaise girl myself. In this particular salad, nothing but Miracle Whip will do! (I’ve tried it with regular mayo and it failed miserably.)

For those out there who don’t care for Miracle Whip, this salad calls for exactly 1 cup of the white stuff which is the smaller size jar commonly available in most groceries. If you don’t care for Miracle Whip, this ensures there is none leftover to waste or find uses for.

OMG, another Miracle Whip lover! I took so much heat when I posted about my Miracle Whip addiction — and then posted again, and again. But seriously, I don’t care if it’s not real mayonnaise. It’s the real deal in my kitchen, too!

Sandie, I think it looks very appealing…I like the “mosaic” of fruit that’s dotted on the inside.
