Bing Cherry Salad

I feel so full and the peanut butter and hummus defiantly put me over 1600kcal for the day already.

Recipe Summary Bing Cherry Salad

This is a salad my great grandma use to make and is one of my favorites to eat during the holiday season. Most people make this creamy by melting the cream cheese or dissolving it in the juice. We actually add small chunks of the cheese after the mix has cooled. So you have a clear gelatin with little white chunks in it. So good!

Ingredients | Binging On Healthy Food Myproana

1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice

1 (15 ounce) can pitted Bing cherries in water

1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, cut into pieces

1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle cola-flavored carbonated beverage, or as needed.

1 (3 ounce) package cherry Jell-O®

Directions

Drain the pineapple juice and cherry water into a 2-cup measuring cup. Pour enough color to make 2 cups; discard the remaining soda. Pour the cola mixture into a saucepan.

Bring the cola mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from heat, then stir in the pineapple, cherries, cream cheese, and cherry gelatin until gelatin dissolves, about 5 minutes. Pour mixture into a mold or glass baking dish. Refrigerate until set, about 3 hours.

There are several variations to this in my family. You can add pecans, you can add all of the pineapple instead of just half. You can add the whole can of soda. You can also let the mixture cool a bit before adding the cream cheese so that it doesn't melt.

My sister and I like to make a double batch so we have it to snack on for the next few days.
