Taking The Stress Out Of Gluten-Free Grain-Free & Dairy-Free Living
Cherry Fluff Salad
I made this for Christmas with cranberries and with cherries for Easter and it got rave reviews both times. Everyone loves a traditional “fluff” salad that takes us back to holiday meals at Grandma’s house.
Cherry Fluff Salad
16 ounces of Pitted Dark Cherries, thawed & drained
8 ounce can of Crushed Pineapple, drained
1 Cup of Sugar
2 Cups of Mini Marshmallows
6 ounces of Soft Goat or Sheep’s Milk Cheese
1 Tablespoon of Sugar
Zest of 1 Lemon
2 Tablespoons of Lemon Juice
2 Cups of Sweetened Vanilla Coconut Milk Whipped Cream (I make this the night before so it has time to really chill and set up. Some coconut water will separate, just pour it off before folding the whipped cream into the other fluff ingredients)
Chop the thawed, drained, cherries and toss them in a small bowl with the drained pineapple and 1 cup of sugar, chill in the fridge for 1 hour. Drain off excess juice.
While the fruit is chilling, bring the goat cheese to room temperature. Beat the cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest, and 1 TBS of sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Remove the coconut milk whipped cream that’s been in the fridge chilling over night and drain off excess coconut water. Fold the cheese and whipped cream together carefully. Don’t overwork it. Fold in the fruit mixture and marshmallows and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
