I know a recipe that is easy and may be what you are seeking. I find it easy to remember: 5 cup salad - why? One cup of each ingredient.

1 cup mini marshmallows
1 cup pineapple chunks (drain first)
1 cup coconut flakes
1 cup marchino cherries
1 cup Cool Whip (whipped cream) or sour cream

mix together and enjoy. Can change the ingredients around as well sometimes I put in a can of manderian oranges (drain first) and more cool whip and just add stuff as I go. But that is the basic salad. Hope that you enjoy it & it's what you were looking for. :P)
