Here is how you make dad's tropical salad:

servings are about 3/4 cup each In a large bowl, mix both packages of cream cheese with a mixer until smooth; set aside. After you've opened the cherries, oranges, and pineapple, make sure they are drained well. Otherwise, your salad will be more of a soup. I take the oranges and cherries and put them through a noodle strainer to make sure i get it all. I then take a knife and cut them into smaller pieces, and then add the pineapple. Mix the fruit into the cream cheese, followed by the walnuts and sugar. Splenda also works well. If you want , add some coconut.
