In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed pink lemonade concentrate and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk together until smooth and well blended.
Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip until fully incorporated, creating a light and fluffy mixture.
Add the drained pineapple tidbits, mini marshmallows, sliced strawberries, and optional maraschino cherries. Use a spatula to gently fold these into the mixture, being careful not to overmix.
Transfer the mixture into a serving dish or individual cups and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
Refrigerate the salad for at least 2 hours or until it is thoroughly chilled and set.
Serve cold as a dessert or side dish. Optionally, garnish with additional sliced strawberries or a sprig of mint for presentation.
