This is my delicious, lightened-up version of a cherry and pineapple salad, a cool and creamy cherry fluff with sweet, juicy cherries, little pineapple tidbits and soft, sweet mini marshmallows. If you didn't know better, you'd probably think it has lots of sugar, but it doesn't. The only sugar is in the marshmallows and the natural sugars of the fruit.
