Featured Recipe: Pineapple-Banana Frozen Salad Cups
Retro recipe alert! Remember those frozen “salads” from the ‘50ies and ‘60ies that combined fruit, nuts, sour cream and, more often than not, mayonnaise? Our moms made them at Thanksgiving without fail. Guess what? They’re still good and especially refreshing on a summer day.
Alicia omitted the mayo in this version to lighten it up a bit. Are we the only people left on the planet who remembers this “salad”? Or did your family perhaps eat it as dessert? Tell us we're not the only cooks around who still make it! Comments? Other ideas? Click here!

From Amy Dunn of Raleigh, via Facebook: "This got me to thinking about "marshmallow fluff." Remember that concoction from the 60s?, with marshmallows, sour cream, Cool Whip, pineapple tidbits and mandarin oranges?? I turned my kids on to it just this year and they LOVE it."

From Judy in St. Louis, via Facebook: "I think my mother-in-law's version was made with lime Jell-O, plus mayo (full-fat, of course), walnuts and pineapple. She called it "green salad."
