Cherry Walnut Fluff Salad
Cherry Walnut Fluff Salad is my favorite type of salad and great for all occasions. Perfect for potlucks and BBQ’s. Your guests will keep coming back for seconds and thirds. Delicious!
When I think of fluff salad, I think of my grandma and aunts. I have those really cool aunts and grandma that make all kinds of things. Things like jean blankets, quilts, porcelain dolls and anything in between. My aunts and grandma were always working on something new when we went over for the holidays.
I also remember eating fluff salad. Fluff salad is one of those salads thats been around for years at our house. We always have fluff salad at thanksgiving and christmas get togethers. I remember always eating it, wondering what the heck it was and who brought it. Being a kid I didn’t care what it was or who brought it. As long as I could eat it, I was a happy girl.
I remember thinking and wondering if fluff salad was suppose to be a dessert or a side dish. My grandma would always set it on the table with the food, so I never really knew. Regardless I always ate it and loved it.
My grandma is no longer with us anymore, so my Aunt Marlys took over bringing the fluff salad. Me being the food blogger and all, I needed to get this recipe and share it with you all. So, the last time I saw my Aunt I asked her to give me the recipe. She was sweet. Her response was, “Oh I don’t know it Cyndi. I just add a little bit of this and a little bit of that, but I’ll try to email you the recipe.”
A few weeks later I got her email, bless her heart. I couldn’t believe how easy this Cherry Walnut Fluff Salad was to make. I always thought it was one of those recipes that was extremely hard to make because we only had it at family gatherings. Was I wrong. This fluff salad takes 10 minutes to throw together and a few hours to set. Now I’m wishing I would of been in the kitchen more with my grandma and aunts. I would love to know all their great delicious recipes.
This Cherry Walnut Fluff Salad is creamy, perfect for all sorts of occasions and taste ah-mazing. If you’re having a hot day outside and need something to cool off. I would highly recommend this fluff salad. It’s so refreshing and taste delicious! Also if you’re having a gathering at your house, I recommend you making this Cherry Walnut Fluff Salad. It’s always a huge hit at our house.

I love fluff salads. Although, I’ve never made it myself. It looks like I’m going to have to change that because this looks delightful.
You need to make it Jen! It’s so refreshing and yummy. 🙂

Ahhh yes the great debate salad or dessert? It’s a salad around here! Love fluff salads and how easy they are!
Totally agree Julie. It’s salad and healthy for you! 🙂
I don’t even remember the last time I had fluff salad! Probably at some point when my grandma made it 🙂
That made me smile when your aunt said she just added a little of this and that. That’s how it is so often when I try to get family recipes!
Gotta love the older generation and their way of cooking! 🙂 Fluff salad is totally a grandma thing huh? Does that mean I’m old, hehe.
Aw, family recipes are the best! Love that you thought it was so simple once you saw the recipe! Maybe you’ve just become a fabulous chef 🙂
Aww your to sweet Medha! Thank you! 🙂
I adore the regular fluff salad (pineapple and orange), but I’ve never seen a cherry one like this! It reminds me of my Nana’s favorite ice cream – I’m dying to know how good it is!
Oooh I’ve never tried a pineapple orange. I need to do that asap! Thank you Erica! 🙂
My family makes this same salad for nearly every single holiday – even in the fall and winter – and we call it Pink Stuff. We absolutely love it! It’s one of my Gma’s favorite side dishes. It’s so simple and delicious, right? The photos are beautiful, and you are making me crave it right now!!! Thanks for sharing!
Funny that I didn’t know the name of this until I became a food blogger. We called it the pink stuff too. And no one knew what was inside. Just that it was delicious! 🙂 Thanks for your sweet words Sarah! 🙂
This was way too sweet… I honestly found it disgusting and it went in the trash! In checking to see that I followed directions I see other versions with cream cheese, I think that might be better. Anything to reduce all the sugar.
Hi Craig. I’m sorry this fluff salad was to sweet for you and didn’t work out. This is an all time favorite in my house and has been in our family for years. Thanks for giving it a try and I hope you’ll try more recipes in the future. 🙂
1 cup is equal to how many grams
I’m not sure. I only use cups, so I don’t want to give you the wrong information. Maybe try googling it and seeing if that helps. Thanks!
