Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups pineapple chunks (canned or fresh)
- 1 cup mandarin oranges (drained, canned)
- 1 cup maraschino cherries (halved)
- 1.5 cups grapes (red or green, halved)
- 1.5 cups mini marshmallows
- 0.5 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1.5 cups whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as macadamia nuts or pecans)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pineapple chunks, mandarin oranges, halved maraschino cherries, and halved grapes.
Gently fold in the mini marshmallows and shredded coconut to the fruit mixture.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together plain Greek yogurt, whipped topping, honey, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
Pour the creamy mixture over the fruit and marshmallow mixture in the large bowl.
Using a spatula, gently fold the creamy dressing into the fruit until everything is evenly coated. Be careful not to crush the fruit.
If desired, fold in chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the fruit salad a gentle stir to re-incorporate any liquid that may have settled at the bottom.
Serve chilled in bowls or as a side dish, and enjoy your tropical Creamy Hawaiian Fruit Salad!
