Orange Dream Salad



Fluffy orange creamy pineapple salad.  Perfect side for sandwiches, pot lucks, holiday dinners, etc. This recipe was handed down from my Mother in law, per my husbands request. :-). It usually comes with chopped pecans, but my husband prefers it without the added protein, so I usually oblige to his wishes.

Whip this up in 5 minutes and refrigerate for 2 hours and you are in business!!
