I can't forget the moment I stumbled upon this recipe for Pink Cottage Dessert Salad. It was a warm summer day, and I was visiting my dear friend Betty for a casual lunch. As we sat at her kitchen table sipping on iced tea, she suddenly got up and disappeared into her pantry. Curious, I followed her and watched in amazement as she pulled out a faded recipe card from the depths of a dusty old recipe box.

I glanced down at the card and read the ingredients: crushed pineapple, whipped cream, mini marshmallows, and cherry Jell-O. It sounded like a deliciously sweet and creamy concoction that I couldn't wait to taste. Betty showed me how to mix everything together, layer by layer, in a glass dish until it resembled a pink and fluffy cottage of dessert.
