The cooked custard dressing for this salad is uniquely delicious. Mixing in marshmallow halves with the fruit makes each serving light, fluffy and fun! -Beverly Wade Park Forest, Illinois

Ingredients

1 package (16 ounces) large marshmallows, halved

Took this to a graduation party and got rave reviews. The salad tasted just a little tart to me, so I just added a little more confectioners' sugar. It turned out great!
