Grape Salad

By: Jan

Recipe History: This was a Watson family recipe that I got from Jim's mom.  It has become my favorite "fruit" salad.  The marshmallows sweeten the salad as it sits.

Ingredients:

2 cups seedless purple grapes, cut in half
2 cups minature marshmallows
2 tablespoons pineapple joice
2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
6 ounces of cream cheese
large can of crushed pineapple, drained (save 2 tablespoons of juice)
1 small carton (1/2 piint) whipping cream


Directions:

• Combine mayonnaise, cream cheese, pineapple juice
• Beat on low speed with mixer until smooth
• Combine grapes, marshmallows and pineapple and mix together
• Add to cream cheese mixture
• Whip cream until stiff and fold into grape/cream cheese mixture evenly
• Chill overnight.  

 Tip: This is a side dish primarily, but we sometimes eat this as a desert or while playing cards after a big holiday feast!  It is amazingly yummy.
