I think of my granddaughters, Skyler & Rain when I make this recipe, since it came from their mama, Jamie. It's my favorite "fruit" salad -- preferred over any other because it has pineapple in it. This is a great one for church potlucks and large family gatherings. Often requested! It may be a little bit more "labor intensive" than some fruit salads, but it is well worth it. At first glance most folks think it is either some type of "cottage cheese" salad or a "glorified rice" type dish. As you can see from ingredients, it is neither!
