My mom, from Minnesota originally, made this! She at one point tried to be healthy by adding yogurt instead of Cool Whip. My aunts referred to that as her California radical period.
😅🤣 too funny! As a Minnesotan, that's crazy! Haha.
Yes, I am from Minnesota we make this for potlucks all the time. It is a favorite.
😂 lol radical
Bahahaha! California radical! Im gonna call my husband that, he is from Cali and that is gold!
@@debliz25 Sadly, I was raised on CA. My cousin and I went to a teen party. He wore a shirt and sweater with sturdy shoes, I wore a strapless dressand Candie's stilletos. He brought me and announced, "Thisis is my cousin, from CA!" The kids tried to be kind....
I know she’s your producer, and busy, but a dedicated series of her character is needed!
Agree!!!
If they did a cooking show together I’d be down to watch 😂
Absolutely 🤗
Yes
I would too in a heartbeat!!! They should consider doing one!
I would watch it too
Me 2 sitting here in my cul-de-sac in Michigan 😂😂😂😂😂
Oh my goodness, more of this "cooking show" please! Love the awkwardness between Kim and the neighbor!
@Austin Howland Me. Howland I am not the Judge Judy Sheindlin. I am simply a fan, hence my username "Judge Judy fan". But I am having a wonderful day do far, I hope you are as well.
She called Miracle Whip, “Mayonnaise.” Only someone from the Midwest would do that. The rest of the country knows that Helman’s and Miracle Whip have about as much in common as a White Claw and Linenkugels.
Oh no. Two separate items in miracle whip & mayo 🤦🏻♀️
The real difference is that miracle whip has a little vinegar in it to get that tangy taste.
Otherwise, they are pretty much the same.
I'm from Missouri, and we don't call Miracle Whip anything - we just don't use it. I've never bought a jar of the stuff. Mayo or die!
My Midwest in laws would never call Miracle Whip mayo. In fact, they made it a point to let me know when my hubby and I got married that they were two VERY different things. lol
It depends where you are in the Midwest. Miracle Whip is not mayo. Doesn't even say on the package dressing?
LOL! My family is from the Midwest. Yes this IS an actual salad!!! hehehe :-)
Fruit Salad
grapes
apples
bananas
mandarine oranges
sprinkle of sugar
Cool Whip (not real whipped cream of course!)
Yep, a little taste of home right there!!
I’ve had it many times.
You betcha! Sometimes we add a touch of miracle whip for tang to balance the sweetness.....
And Mayo. Can't leave out the Mayo (or miracle whip, as the previous commenter has mentioned). Sometimes even chopped nuts and chopped celery. And jello. And sometimes raisins.
And.... mini marshmallows. 🤔😳
I draw the line at shredded cheese though! 🤪
From TX and it's a staple!
I always love the recipes in Midwestern cookbooks that say, “Can be used as a salad or a dessert.” 😂
HAHAHA how can it be both?!
@@theholdernessfamily Imagination!!
My family is from the Midwest and definitely have this salad. We always put colored marshmallows in it. A good salad to try is taco salad, complete with doritos and western dressing.
I was born in Washington and moved to Idaho when I was 4 with my family. We have both taco salad was routine as we grew up and there wasn’t a get together without fruit salad. Some people around here stir in shaved coconut flakes too. I feel like these things are just traditional lower/middle class easy meals for tight budgets. We all eat this stuff!
I’ve had this once before and it tastes amazing!!! I was wondering what specific ingredients you put in it? I would LOVE to be able to make it!!
We use french dressing in our taco salad. I've never had a fruit salad with miracle whip though....😒
Love taco salad and walking tacos!!
@@zimrasawyer1881 yeah....I refuse to use mayo or that other stuff in fruit salad. Just cool whip..MAYBE a tiny bit of cream cheese..
This is the fruit salad from every Midwest Lutheran church potluck. Folks at my California church don’t understand it. But it’s true - this is a salad and bars are desserts, like Scotcheroos! This video was an absolute delight and this channel just brightens up our day.
I love that you said Scotcheroos! They are the best!!
Oh, my heavens to Betsy. It is so-o true! Every church potluck was sure to have at least one version of this salad! I grew up in the midwest also and this fruit salad, green pistachio salad, and an apple/ black walnut/celery salad ( with miracle whip as the "dressing") were the "gold standards" at every get together!
@@michelle6323 Waldorf salad lol.
As a fellow Lutheran, I can verify this is most certainly true.😁
I had heard of this fruit salad - even seen it.. but...scratches head... What in the world is a/an? Scotcheroos?
Sounds like my Underoos after I sat in front of the fireplace too long! 😂
Love it! Keep these going! And yes, this is a salad not a dessert in the Midwest. Heck we have a salad called snicker bar salad. Frozen crushed Snickers, sliced bananas, small diced apples, splash of vanilla and cool whip. It's a SALAD in Sconi and a fan favorite.
We've never done it with bananas but that would be neat to try! We did the apples, peanuts, and Snickers.
Nice! Our snickers salad is about the same, but without the banana and with a RIDICULOUS amount of snickers.
I'm hungry now.
I LOVE Snicker Bar Salad!! 🥰
Fruit salad is always a side dish, and it’s probably going to be the only real salad at the thanksgiving table. The closest you’re going to get to a green salad is green bean casserole, at least if you’re with my family.
That's how Thanksgiving should be 😄
Truth!
Same with my family! 🤣
Yeah I love green salads but I don’t understand them with holiday dinners.
On my dad's said it's like that but on my mom's side it's all greens everything is keto friendly and healthy.
Kim’s face when she puts in the mayo - totally me!
It was Miracle Whip, not mayonnaise. 😃
Miracle whip is the worst!
True story: I went to a potluck at a friend's house and brought a pistachio salad. My friend (originally from Oregon) was so excited that I brought a Minnesotan/midwestern dish. I was a little confused...it's a normal salad. 😂😂
Oh, my word! Pistachio salad was one of my very favorite dishes as a kid. The color, the fact that it contained *pistachios* -so exotic! (So it was the 70s, the time when-according to my kids-dinosaurs walked the earth. Pistachios were new to us)
Pistachio salad is one of the "trinity" of salads our family has at every holiday. Our other salads are Cherry Coke Salad and Snicker Salad. It wouldn't be a family holiday without them.
@@charleneeaster6886 Cherry Coke salad? Do tell.
Imma gonna have to look this one up!!!
@@charleneeaster6886 yes do tell about the coke salad!!!
I legit was waiting for the pistachio instant pudding and maraschino cherries. Our family (from Ohio) calls it Martian salad or Watergate salad. We have it at all the holidays. Keep the cooking shows coming! You guys are great!
😁 Ha! Yes! Martian salad! Haven't heard that for ages. And I recall it being a thing for a minute in Ohio. Wasn't in my family's recipes, but that dish was popular in other homes.
Good old Watergate salad.
You two should do your dump cake! Also, doing dishes from different parts of the states would be fun too!
I would love to teach you how to make Utah funeral potatoes! They are equal parts awesome/culturally specific/totally not something we should eat 😂
Dump cake is actually very good! LOL
Dump cake is SO GOOD!
This is TOTALLY true! I’m from MN and am secretly a little disappointed that most salad bars in the country don’t include this salad ANYWHERE. 😂 Raise your hand if your family had something like this with Thanksgiving dinner (not dessert). 🙋🏻♀️ My mom brought a cranberry version of this!
"They'll talk about it later, though" LOLOLOL
I have eaten that salad SO many times! It's a Wisconsin staple at funerals and church pot lucks. I love Kim's reactions 🤣
Funny thing. I was teaching about salads yesterday. My students asked me about fruit salad. I explained the 70's & 80's version of fruit salad. Now, I have this video to share. It may be a little cringy for Durham, but I'll try it .
The next recipe needs to be something jello. I once went to Thanksgiving at my ex’s house. There were 3-4 dishes on the table which included jello.
Green Jello with pineapples and carrot - another side dish!
Peach jello with miracle whip, cream cheese, and mandarin oranges (called Dreamscicle Salad)
I am a misplaced, live in Washington State, Minnesotan and I can attest that this salad is a side dish and would be served with the main meal. I have made this salad more times than I can count.
Oh ubetcha ...hiya from st. Paul
Oh yeah! It's a side dish for sure. Even in my California family you didn't call it dessert! 🤣
Ah yes, same here! And there’s a version where you add cookies or snickers. Still called a side salad😂
But it's sweet! How can it be a side salad?!?!? Side salads are savoury, as in lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers....this is totally a desert, it's sweet, that's a clue.
I am from PA. I have had this salad. It is a side dish.
I'd watch anything with Kim and this lady together. Their banter is great.
MORE OF YOU 2 TOGETHER!!! Even though that dish is considered “Midwest,” I can attest to growing up with it at pot-lucks in Western NY and even have encountered similar things in New England. Old-school, to be sure. Maybe you can make goulash or sloppy joes. Something that relies on canned and jarred foods! Love to you all. Happy Holidays!!!!!
This is a real recipe? Miracle whip and fruit 😨😱😫
@@jenniferrb3665 I've never heard of it having miracle whip. I grew up in California and we used whipped cream. lol
i grew up in central NY and we certainly had this dish. I made it for my southern family as a side dish and they were not impressed haha
Not sure about it being 'midwest'...weve been making that in the South for decades...
@BCK: Sloppy Joes! Yessssssssss!!!!!
I’ve lived my whole life in the Midwest. No cool whip salad is worth anything without pecan pieces. And it’s 100% a side dish. Imagine how crushed everyone would be to have cool whip salad as your dessert. It would need more sugar! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
This needs to be a regular series on your channel 😍
Please bring her back for a "cooking show"...lol!!! This was hilarious 😂
This is a SALAD. Yes, us Midwesterners really do have this on our table. I loved this so much
😂😂😂My family does a “fruit salad” with jello mix, fruit cocktail, marshmallows, and cool whip. This video just made me smile inside.
Def do a show and def call it "JEET"
Love this. Your "neighbor" is a riot! This could be a fun spin-off! (And my mom used to make that salad, and she was from Florida!)
I just learned last week from chef Andrew Zimmern that a casserole is mixed together and a hot dish is layered.
Wow🤯 I thought they were the same thing.
I learned this from you, 5 days before I turn 52, so I guess better late than never as far as the difference between casserole and hotdish, so thank you. I live in MN 95 percent of my life, born in NYC like Andrew, and also like Andrew live in the Twin Cities but unlike him I can't cook and as awesome as he is, I get nauseous watching him eat like bugs.
My native Jewish Minnesotan Mom doesn't make hotdish, I was like in my 30's before I tried it and no fruit salad, either but I knew it was a thing as most of my friends when I was younger were Christian and I absolutely love this kind of fruit salad, too.
Happy Holidays!!!
I am a lifer Minnesotan & I saw Andrew Z say that too - but that's not necessarily how it works, at least not up here on the Iron Range in Northeastern Minnesota. My Mom rarely made a layered Hotdish. Sure, the original recipes for most casseroles say casserole on it, but most Rangers write Hotdish when they copy the recipe for themselves - or at least everyone I knew when I was growing up in the 1970s & 1980s did. We have entire sections of church cookbooks that are dedicated to Hotdish (there's a few casseroles in titles, but not many). My dad's sisters do actually call it Green Bean Casserole, but that is what the can of soup calls it 😂
No such thing as a hot dish in Wisconsin 😁😁😁.. it's a casserole!
I'm from the midwest. Now in L.A. LOVE seeing midwest neighbor!! She's hilarious! Yes, fruit SALAD Is a real thing back there.
🤣🤣🤣they will talk about it later… so true!! 🤣🤣🤣
We had this every year at my grandma’s house both Thanksgiving and Christmas when I was a kid! Love u both together….we want more !
I love them together! Her neighbor is so funny!
I’m from the Midwest, and yes, this is a salad! It’s actually one of our favorites.
I’m from Northwest Indiana and this dish is a real thing and delicious.
Chiming in from Nebraska: Grandma made the salad with apples, bananas, grapes, Miracle whip and marshmallows! YUM! 😋. Mother in law makes fruit salad with cherry pie filling, sweetened condensed milk, pineapple, mandarin oranges, marshmallows, and Cool Whip! Another YUM! We love our salads in the Midwest!👍🏻🎉😉😋
Ohhh yea! That's our fruit 🍌 🍎 salad, too!
I was married before I knew a salad involved greens! 🥬
Definatly need to do a cooking show together. Yes, this is a salad.
In Indiana, it's a carry-in. A salad is anything that's served cold, has multiple components/combinations of fruits and/or veggies, and a dressing.
Similar in Germany
No cap, all midwesterners KNOW that Miracle Whip is “mayo” but also that the two are NOT interchangeable. That one second made me snort laugh.
No it isn't. Even Kraft (the makers of Miracle Whip) know it isn't because they also make Mayo. Yes, there are similarities, but finitely are not the same. I grew up in the Midwest and never called Miracle Whip Mayo.
We eat this as a side dish at every gathering here in Minnesota! My husband didn’t know we called it a salad either. My mom always makes her acini de pepe salad with acini de pepe noodles, marshmallows and whip cream. So good!
YESSS!! Frog-eye salad, featured at my HS graduation party many years ago😂
The way she said "iM sO bAd" just cracked me up
Please make this a regular event!! Love it ladies!!
Thanks for representing the Midwest! Love Kim’s reactions to her neighbor’s helpfulness.
This is Minnesota Fruit Salad! Good for any family gathering and also funeral luncheons. Christmas time we put in colored marshmallows and red cherries from the jar.
Yes, the colored marshmallows are a bit too exuberant for funeral luncheons, but perfectly fine for any other occasion.
@@llamasugar5478 agreed.
Very late to the comments on this one, but as a Midwesterner born and bred who has lived in the mid-Atlantic for 15+ years, I nearly cry with joy every time your Midwestern neighbor pops in, and this video was PEAK Midwest and I loved everything about it. And the comments from people about Puppy Chow and Scotcheroos....I will never not love some of these Midwestern-isms. And now I need to go make a tater tot casserole for dinner because I'm feeling the nostalgia so hard it hurts.
There are so many recipes that have been mentioned this year! Puppy Chow needs to have it’s own video!!!
Love Puppy Chow!!😁
Yass!! I grew up on puppy chow! My gma makes it
Muddy Buddies is what it's called in Utah
My husband made puppy chow once where he mixed the powdered sugar in with the chocolate instead of coating the chow. It turned out brown so he called it puppy poop. Tasted the same, just looked different 😛
Whomever plays your neighbor is FANTASTIC. Great character.
This minnesota girl was laughing 😂 big time!! This is always on our table. Potluck holiday family get together for just 80 people.
I learned of a thing that people in Iowa make, it's a fried egg sandwich that has cheese and ketchup. I heard mid western people say that there are some variation to it like sautéed onions and so on. There are so many ways of cooking, just through-out America, let alone the world. Food and music help bring people together.
Lmao I had no idea that egg sandwiches weren’t everywhere. I’m in NY and it’s a staple breakfast item. My BFF has traveled all over the country and is always excited to get to a state that has them.
We eat that in the northeast with taylor ham or pork roll, on a bagel or a hard roll
@@ladyp3531 In California were I was born and raised, I only found out about it because my childhood best friends dad was from Iowa, and his wife made them from time to time.
@@barbieblue3336 My childhood best friends mother only made it with white bread, American cheese and ketchup. When I started to make things on my own as a latch key kid, I'd add sautéed onions and mushrooms.
@@davidkneitel1840 See that’s what blows my mind!!! I would never think Cali wouldn’t have egg sandwiches. And the fact that this blows my mind is proof that I SERIOUSLY thought it was a staple everywhere.
I remember this awful salad 🤣 The neighbor is awesome! Strawberry pretzel salad is another popular one.
Don’t forget the question: Guess what the crust is? Love this one….but I always try to make it in a hurry. Guess how that works out?😏
Love strawberry pretzel salad!!
I have Strawberry Pretzel Salad in the fridge ready to go for Thanksgiving tomorrow.
Strawberry pretzel salad is the best!!
Oh the strawberry and pretzel salad... now there's a nice dessert for salad recipe! (Actually one of my favorite desserts!)
More of this please! You two are great together! This is a delicious salad in particular parts of the country! Yummy!
Wait - I'm from the south and I grew up with both fruit salad and dump cakes, though never with what she claims is mayonnaise...
We'd often mix our fruit salad with pistachio pudding (I guess that was our green??) Called it Watergate Salad.
Love the video! Happy Thanksgiving!
We have Watergate salad too - that is not fruit salad. As a teen I worked in a cafeteria type restaurant making the 'salads', which included this fruit salad, Watergate salad (from the Watergate Hotel in Washington DC) and green jello salad with pineapple and shredded carrot. All big favorites here in St Louis area in the 1970's.
I keep watching this over and over again. It's hysterical. At the end when they're both clapping, it sounds like they're chanting "Holy Spirit Activate".
I don’t know why Kim is acting like this is such a strange thing in the South. I grew up with almost that exact recipe being made by my grandmother born in Texas in 1894. It was on every holiday table and we called it ambrosia
It is a variation of Ambrosia. The major difference is ambrosia has coconut in it.
@@honolulublues5548 Ah, ye, of course! The coconut. I was not watching closely enough.
Yes! Also born and raised in Texas with fruit salad at every family gathering.
We get Ambrosia at Publix which is doesn’t have much fruit just mandarin oranges,pineapple and coconut with cool whip and marshmallows lol. I’ve also had a green (color only) version with pistachio pudding, maraschino cherries and almond slivers.
I imagine the miracle whip adds some tang. I grew up with Miracle Whip but i rarely use it. Maybe in a smidge in tuna salad but I mostly use Dukes.
My Texan mother made ambrosia. The main difference was she added coconut and nuts. And mayonnaise instead of cool whip and miracle whip (neither ever entered our house growing up). My sisters and I loved it.
I absolutely love all the videos with this neighbor. And I love this side dish. One of my favorites!
That was such a fun watch. You guys work so well together. :D
thanks for watching
Yep, I’ve had that ‘salad’ at church potlucks in Kansas. 😊 I thought these kinds of ‘salads’ were just a fad while I was growing up. I guess they’re a permanent Midwest trend. 😄 My mom made Cherry Fluff salad (SO good!) involving cherry pie filling, Cool Whip, chopped pecans, banana slices, and I think canned pineapple. I’m not sure how this ever qualified as a salad. 😂 She also made Frog Eye Salad (gross name but still yummy) which involves the pasta called acini de pepe, Cool Whip, banana slices, canned pineapple, maybe mandarin oranges, and colored marshmallows. Oh the memories of growing up in the Midwest!! Thanks for the trip down memory lane! ❤ I’d watch more of Cul-de-sac Kitchen!
I think you two making Mississippi Mud cake with the Milky Way Bars would be hilarious. The Midwesterner would admit it's a desert and Kim might think she's going into diabetic coma though.
Cranberry fluff/salad! I grew up eating it made by my grandma from Green Bay. It's not quite a fruit salad (if/when I have make those, they're mostly just actual chopped fresh fruit with some citrus juice squeezed over it to prevent browning) but cran salad is a MUST! Traditional is to use a tub of CoolWhip, a bag of mini marshmallow, sugar to taste, a can of drained crushed pineapple and 1 bag chopped raw whole cranberries with optional sweetened coconut flakes, pecans, etc. I use freshly beaten whipping cream (whip until peaks form) and/or yogurt (Greek is best for firmer texture- some ppl use mayo and/or cream cheese in a pinch). Then light sugar sometimes even stevia along with pineapple (sometimes fresh depending on price/availability- pineapple canned in own juice without added sugar/corn syrup is fairly healthy). I love cranberries and sometimes stock up to use in smoothies throughout the year (just toss bag in freezer- cranberry production is amazing and very farmer friendly so nice feel good ethical purchase). I forgo coconut unless can find unsweetened which is usually expensive and I'm only one who likes nuts so skip pecans. A little spare cranberry for garnish is cute. Ok so now I'm going to have to make a video of me making mine tonight lol thx
My step-dad is making cranberry fluff for Thanksgiving. It is the best way to eat cranberries. Also WI!
Please can you make more of these episodes? They are so funny!!!!
The neighbor should be on a sitcom.
I'm about to make orange salad for Thanksgiving! Cottage cheese, orange jello, mandarin oranges, crushed pineapple and cool whip. May have to try some marshmallows this year!
My grandmother made a similar version with cherry jello and maraschino cherries 🍒.
Me too!! My little one calls it orange stuff lol
My family has made this -and eaten it - many times for a party / holiday meal side dish. This is a legit salad.
My grandma makes it and I love it!
Omg my mom use to make that when I was a kid
That salad is great! And yes it's a salad!! Our family adds chopped walnuts to that mixture for a nice crunch here and there.
Yes, walnuts too!
Loved this! This should become a regular segment on your channel. 😍❤️
O. M G!! So my grandma was born in Chicago (Midwest) and would often make this “fruit salad”. It Had canned fruit cocktail, and canned peaches, drain, toss in a bowl with sour cream. No marshmallows. When I was a kid I loved it and when I’d tell my friends about it, even as an adult, there would all eventually say how gross it sounded. I still love it, it’s comfort food. But I always wondered where it came from that no one where I lived (Oregon and NC) every heard of such a thing. This has got to be some version of it! Thank you! 💜
I could watch the neighbor all.day.long. She's awesome!
Aaaaah childhood memories 😁 every church potluck, every barbecue, every family gathering this side dish was included😄
My mom is from the western state of Idaho, and she still thinks of this kind of fruit salad when she hears fruit salad! She's also a casserole mom, so Idaho must be similar to the Midwest haha 😆 relating to this lady!
Although, we do more of the Cool Whip route than the mayo...
My Mom was from Missouri, so I had this salad many times. It is a side dish always in the mid-west. I love watching you two on here. Funny and real. The look on your face when Miracle Whip was added made me laugh and laugh and laugh! Keep up the excellent videos.
My family crawled out of The Appalachians, and we’ve had this recipe forever. (My fave dessert; my mom was a TERRIBLE cook! 😂)
I'm from Waukesha WI now living in NC. I can verify 100% that this is an actual dish served at just about every function in the Midwest. Birthdays to Funerals and everything in between. A close second to it is "Watergate Salad" which is pretty much the same ingredients mixed with pistachio pudding to make it green in color.
My Mom used to always make something like this with diced apples, grapes & called it Waldorf salad.
Here in Southern manitoba. This is definitely a salad!! A family gathering is not a family gathering without aunt Connie's "pink stuff".
Whip 1L whipping cream with one pk pink(or red) jello powder(yes. Just the powder). Add grapes, banana, orange segments, berries, and whatever other fruit you have on hand. And whatever you do... DONT FORGET THE MARSHMALLOWS!
Definitely in the salad bar at the potluck.
Love the video. I think I have my grandma make fruit salad as a side dish for every family get together.
You know you are a strong person when you’ve grown up eating green jello made with grated carrots and pineapple. Nothing can scare you if you’ve had that. And yes, they both are salads, placed right on the table with all your other food for the holiday meal.
Oh my gosh, sign me up for this show!!! Ya bet Cha! Thank you for this smile provoking video to watch as I prep for turkey day. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Blessings - Judith 🎵🎭🍁
Happy T Day to you too 🦃🍗🤗
There was a movie with Juliann Moore a long time ago about a small southern town mystery/comedy and there is a scene where their heirloom crystal fruit salad bowl is shattered. Then later at thanksgiving, Juliann Moore’s character says, “Sorry we can’t have fruit salad. The fruit salad bowl got broken.”
So true in our family. We have my mom’s cut crystal from her aunt and grandmother and we have a specific fruit salad bowl. Like, it wouldn’t even taste good if we didn’t have it in that bowl.
I grew up with fruit salad as a side dish! I’m laughing so hard I’m crying. Thank you for this! Looking forward to future episodes.
Okay this has been at every Lutheran church potluck I've ever been to, along with three bean salad, tater tot casserole, deviled eggs, cheesy scalloped potatoes, some form of baked eggs and multiple noodle casseroles and fruity jello mold. Also that miracle whip salad with the shredded cheese and peas. With KoolAid in styrofoam coffee cups to drink. Yummy memories!
I am from Minnesota and have been watching you guys for about a year and a half and I think you guys should make tater tot hot dish
As long as it's a Hot Dish. Minnesotans never use Casserole in our vocabulary..unless green bean casserole, but that's the ONLY one.
YES!!!! Tater Tot casserole in all of the varieties
Yes! Tater Tot Hotdish!
One thing I love about the comments in these types of videos is how much the word “delight” is used, I don’t think I’ve ever even heard that word in public 😂
That's almost an Iowan version of Waldorf Salad. 😅😅 Kim, you do not want to know what qualifies as a midwestern taco salad! Anyone got the recipe to the Applesauce Salad that was so popular in the 60's and 70's... the one with jello, cinnamon redhots and applesauce, that was layered with chopped nuts and some sort of cream cheese filling? My Grams made that every T-day and Christmas. Oh, and the "Cut Glass" jello salad! Good memories, but high type 2 diabetes ratings.
I'm a Kansan and I really want to know what your version of taco salad is. I know what mine is, and it doesn't seem weird to me, so I'm dying to hear yours!
Do you need the red hot recipe? I think my mom has it somewhere.🙂
@@lyndiwilson2334 Displaced Iowan here---I'm guessing it's french dressing (Western dressing if you're in my family), iceberg lettuce, doritos, taco meat and cheese. Awww...now I really want to make it!
@Kristy Reese OMG, French dressing! Really!? Lol, that's hilarious. Thx for educating me. Everyone's traditions are weird to someone, right. We do the chicken and noodles over mashed potatoes and that blows some ppls minds😂
@@lyndiwilson2334 Well, what Iowa defined as taco salad (in the 80's) is definitely not what I consider it, now. Lol! But it was Frito's, ground beef (hopefully with decent seasoning), iceberg lettuce and chopped tomatoes. Maybe sour cream.
My family's Holiday fruit salad was: 1 can crushed pineapple, 2 small cans of mandarin oranges; drain; make sure to save the juices and drink them because they are delicious, then add fruit to orange jello along with cool whip and finely chopped walnuts. Mix it all together. Hmm now that I think about it, this is a jello salad lol anyways it's my personal favorite because I grew up eating it at every festive family get together and I now make it for my family.
Show her a snicker salad and yes it does have snicker candy bars in it.
My family has a Christmas fruit salad that was from my great-grandma's family. It has changed just a little bit, I heard that it originally had like the jelled candy fruit slices but it's a salad served cold so they got a bit hard. And there was also chopped walnuts in it, but that has been changed to having them served on the side so if anyone wanted them they could add them.
It is still made with fresh fruit cut up, no canned fruit. Heavy whipping cream and cherry jell-o with regular marshmallows cut into quarters. Mom passed the recipe down to us kids and we have passed it down to our kids. My middle son even included the recipe in his 4-H project Recipe File. He still has it, started it at age 9 and added to it until 18 for the fair. He is mid 20's now and has recipes from both grandmas, which means a lot to him since they have both passed on.
Sorry for the ramble, but our family is quite proud of the family Christmas fruit salad 😊 and we are from the Midwest, too 😎
Edited to add that SO's family is German-Russian AKA Rooshin so our family has quite a mix of recipes to choose from. Middle son loves baking Dina Kuchen although his version is not a dense coffee cake type, but a fluffy more cake type that his grandma S. called 'Wyatt's Dina Kuchen' 😉
Ummm… I’m Georgia born and raised and so are all my older relatives and fruit salad was totally a normal and common thing at Thanksgiving and any pot luck . So seems like we have a little in common with the Midwest 😊
I'm your neighbor! I was asked to bring a salad for a meal one time. I brought cookie salad and was totally baffled when someone said, "I love a salad that is really a dessert!" Delicious? Yes. Who needs greens anyway?
Love it!! The fruit salad with mayo, not sure about that, but I love your videos with your neighbor. Keep them coming!!
Yeah, we use cool whip not mayonnaise.
I love how this is scripted, but Kim is definitely reacting genuinely to this dish and it's ingredients. 🤣 This is great!
😂 😂 loved it!! My mom is from Colombia and they also have a fruit salad similar to that one. Please more cooking episodes!
My family is Irish/Slovak from Pennsylvania. We had my dad’s invention called “Super Salad” along w holiday Turkey meals, Bc he put sliced ham in it and a lot of stuff like shredded cheese… but it was based on a lettuce and tomato salad. W black olives… think deconstructed 7 layer salad. (I don’t think he knew about that)
There needs to be more comments about the fact that she called miracle whip, mayo. Lies. Horrible lies.
Aside from doing injustice to mayo, I loved this video! It's been almost 20 years since I lived in the Midwest, and she takes me back home ❤️
Yes! A BIG difference!
Whatever. No one would dispute the superiority of MW over Mayo in a PB&MW sandwich. No one.
Don’t knock it til you’ve tried it.
Actually, don’t try it. It’s one of those childhood things that make me question what the hell my tastebuds were thinking.

Okay, but have you heard about the jello salads we have here in Utah? People will put ANYTHING in jello. I haven't seen it as much the last several years, but I definitely grew up with all kinds of jello salads. There's basically two kinds.
1- you make actual jello, cut it into little cubes, and then mix it up with basically any kind of fruit and cool whip. Sometimes you'll even see shredded carrots and marshmallows.
2- the other kind you use the jello powder for flavoring. So like my mom's favorite is a thing of cool whip, a thing of cottage cheese, strawberry jello powder, and sliced strawberries. You just throw all of it in a bowl and stir it up. Very different, but it can be really tasty!
I live in Pennsylvania and I grew up eating this! I'm going to make it for Thanksgiving now!! Lol
We make 5 cup salad here in Michigan and it's definitely a side dish. I usually add maraschino cherries so mine is actually 6 cup salad lol.
For those of you who read this and don't know...it's a cup of pineapple tidbits(drained), a cup of mandarin oranges (drained), a cup of coconut flakes, a cup of sour cream and a cup of marshmallows. If you do like me and want maraschino cherries drain those too (I do between 1/2 c to a cup of these) mix it all together and chill
You need to do more of these!! Loved it! But you lost me at mayo, everything else I was onboard with 😂
Right?!? Same here, lol … all looked yummy until they ruined it with the Miracle Whip , cool whip or whipped cream yes, but Miracle Whip or Mayo, huge no, lol.
We always used sour cream instead of mayo. It was really good.
I've never put mayo in mine, I do put in part of a box of jello mix though. The mayo creeps me out.
Salads during wartime rationing often involved things like Jell-o to spread out meager produce rations to feed a whole family. A carrot or two could suddenly stretch to four servings of Jell-o salad.
