Gumdrop Salad
"This sounded like a really pretty, really appropriate salad for Easter. After all, what could represent Easter more than gum drops? (I know what you're thinking,but I say it's a tie!) This could be a real conversation piece on your buffet table, and you know the kids will delight in it! Recipe was submitted by Starshineeliz on TOH. If you want to use large marshmallows in this salad, be sure to quarter them!"

Fun! Fun! Fun! This was a treat for the Easter table. I made this as written and I really liked the lemon sauce. Make this the night before because it's better cold. TIPS: Use tidbit pineapple; cut gum drops smaller (Do they come tiny?) or use less. Add some on the top for looks but not in salad. Worth trying for Easter.
