This is smooth, and very rich tasting. The egg yolk dressing "makes" the taste, in this big crowd pleasing salad.

NOTE* I made this great salad last weekend. It is so creamy. The dressing is like lemon pie filling. It soaks into the marshmallows and they are like velvet!

Ingredients

1 large can crushed pineapple (20 ounces)
1/2 pound pecans, coarsely broken
1 pound grapes, seeded and halved
1 pound miniature marshmallows
1/2 pint whipping cream, whipped

Dressing:
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar

1 large lemon, juiced
Dash of salt and white pepper
1 cup whipping cream, whipped

Directions

Beat egg yolks well; add other ingredients.

Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened.

Let cool.

Mix well with whipped cream and fruit-nut mixture.

Let stand 24 hours, refrigerated.
