Featuring just five simple ingredients—pillowy mini marshmallows, sweetened shredded coconut, juicy mandarin oranges, tangy pineapple tidbits, and a luscious sour cream dressing—this retro favorite comes together in just 10 minutes. After a quick chill in the fridge, the flavors meld beautifully, creating a light and dreamy dish that’s equal parts sweet and tangy.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mini marshmallows, shredded coconut, mandarin oranges, and pineapple tidbits.
Add the sour cream to the bowl and gently fold all the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to break apart the fruit.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and transfer it to a serving dish, if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy as a dessert or sweet side dish!
