How to Make Snow Salad

Soften 8 ounces of cream cheese to room temperature. Drain one 20-ounce can of crushed pineapple.
In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, drained pineapple, 1 cup maraschino cherries (drained), 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, and 1 cup mini marshmallows.
Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Gently fold in 8 ounces of Cool Whip.
Mix until just combined. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and the salad to set. Serve cold and enjoy!
