Hawaiian salad pancakes

Pancakes American cuisine

Yes. You read that title right. Before I tell you guys what Hawaiian Salad is, I want to know how many of you (I am hoping for a small group) have ever heard of or even eaten Hawaiian Salad? I’ll wait. Phew! For those of you not in the know, Hawaiian Salad is this Mad Men era dessert salad. It probably came to life around the time of Jell-O salads and fruit cakes. This “salad” typically contains, mini marshmallows, madarin oranges, pineapple tidbits, coconut, and don’t forget good old sour cream to keep it all together. Sounds weird right? It isn’t, I swear! My Grandma used to make this all the time growing up. I am pretty sure my brother, Nick, and I devoured it and our scaredy cat baby bro, Zack, stayed far away. He was always asking for chocolate chip cookies. And in typical youngest child fashion, he would always get them. Imagine my surprise when I went to write this post and did a little research to find you guys a link to some other crazy person whose grandma made them eat this as a child, and I discovered I forgot the flipping marshmallows. Ugh! Don’t worry …
