Today,with the addition of several Black Friday ads I’ve been thinking a lot about Christmas and when I think about Christmas I think good food, family, and all the delicious goodies I get to send out each year as gifts. This has inspired me to share some of my favorite treats with you and thus the inception of Tasty Treat Tuesdays. I am hoping to share a favorite recipe each Tuesday from today until January 5th with you. Should you guys desire to share some recipes I would be happy to add a Mr. Linky…just let me know!
SO let’s get started!
One of the main staples at my Mommaw’s (and Aunt’s) home for holiday meals is Pink Salad. I can remember growing up in Mommaw’s home and looking forward to the holidays for two main reasons: Turkey and Mommaw’s Pink Salad. As an early adopter of cherries, I became addicted to Pink Salad also at an early age. There many years I gorged myself on this salad only miss out on the other delicious treats. After all these years and the many additions to our family meals, Pink Salad is still by far my favorite and while yes, I could make this for myself at home any time I want…it just wouldn’t be the same as Mommaw’s.
Spooning into this cool, sweet treat is just what is needed to finish off an amazing Thanksgiving/Christmas/Easter meal. The color of Pink Salad is perfect for Christmas and looks great up against a fat turkey. It’s super simple to mix up (takes less than 5 minutes) and then you just allow it to set in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve it. You know what that means right?
You can make it the day before and pull it out just before dinner or dessert. Major time and sanity saver!

Yep, that’s it. If you mix this in the pretty bowl you are planning to use for the meal you can also save yourself some time with dishes.
