Sorry, brain fart. You're right, it makes a better dessert than a
salad. I've only had it once and it wasn't accompanied by anything -
it was just a sweet served with afternoon tea/coffee.

I googled for recipes yesterday and found one that calls for real
whipped cream instead of cool whip. I think I'd let the already
whipped cream sit overnight in a fine meshed strainer to stabilize it,
but that's the only variation I'd make to it right off the bat.
