Jello Salad with Marshmallows and Pineapple

You won't find a picture of this on my site, because this is a 'jello salad' I will never, ever make.  Nor eat.  I'm not a fan of jello salads of any sort, but I know they are very popular with the generation's before me.   This morning I was looking through my files for things I had posted on previous Fourth of July holidays and this popped up in my search because originally I found it labeled "Fourth of July Salad".

I know why I put it in my recipe files... this is the kind of thing my Mom, my Grandmother and my father-in-law would love.  I've had it sitting in my draft files since 2008 when I collected it with the intention of possibly making it for one of their visits. 

For anyone looking for a very 50's, 60's, 70's Jello Salad... well, this is for you I guess!
