    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.

      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 😂

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.

    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

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.

    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' 😉

    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!
