My Neighbor Makes A Fruit Salad

But do you really put marshmallows in a fruit salad? And should we take this show to the public access station, or no? #midwest #recipes #comedy

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.

[@laurawhite587]

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.

If they did a cooking show together I’d be down to watch 😂

I know she’s your producer, and busy, but a dedicated series of her character is needed!

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'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?

[@angelalowery3506]

I always love the recipes in Midwestern cookbooks that say, “Can be used as a salad or a dessert.” 😂

[@mazzy2121]

"They'll talk about it later, though" LOLOLOL

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.

[@patrickmayville1737]

I just learned last week from chef Andrew Zimmern that a casserole is mixed together and a hot dish is layered.

Oh my goodness, more of this "cooking show" please! Love the awkwardness between Kim and the neighbor!

[@LivingOnADime]

LOL! My family is from the Midwest. Yes this IS an actual salad!!! hehehe :-)

[@jpbpds]

Kim’s face when she puts in the mayo - totally me!

[@monicabublickusascott]

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!

[@amycooper1652]

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.

[@kathyforgues6994]

You two should do your dump cake! Also, doing dishes from different parts of the states would be fun too!

[@susanmarquand1772]

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.

[@genx_jen]

I have eaten that salad SO many times! It's a Wisconsin staple at funerals and church pot lucks. I love Kim's reactions 🤣

[@jolaineliupakka9619]

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. 😂😂

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 .
