Fluffy Pink Salad

If you have looked through my recipes, the majority of them are simple and to the point. This goes with that same line of thinking. Delicious ingredients meant to maximize on flavor and save on time. I took this to work and they all called it "heaven in a bowl". Its the perfect mixture of sweet to satisfy an end of meal craving. You can play with the ingredients in this to make it your own based on your own taste. You may also see versions of this dessert called "Cherry Fluff".

Fluffy Pink Salad

1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 container of frozen whipped topping, thawed
2 cup miniature marshmallows
1 cup pecans
1 can cherry pie filling
1 can crushed pineapple, drainged
1/2 cup coconut
1 can mandarian oranges, drained
1/2 cup maraschino cherries, chopped

Combine all ingredients together and chill until ready to serve.

Cajun Sauce

One of my favorite restaurants is Heidi’s Brooklyn Deli. On many of their sandwiches they use what they call a “Cajun Sauce.” This sauce is sort of like a mix between mayonnaise and hot sauce.

Cayenne Pepper Mix together and chill to blend flavors.

In all honesty I did find them to be tasty and a lot like a traditional 7 Layer Bar except with a brownie base instead of the traditional grahm crackers.  I made the recipe as written but I figured in a time pinch you could easily use a box brownie mix made per the instructions on the box and topped with all the yummy toppings.  I have a mixed feeling about them because I personally found there to be too many toppings so I would have probably scaled them back (but take that for what its worth because I am not really into desserts I just like making them) but my friends loved them as is!
