Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Canned pineapple chunks
- 1 cup Mandarin orange segments
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 1 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup Sour cream
Instructions
Drain the canned pineapple chunks and mandarin orange segments thoroughly to prevent excess liquid in the salad.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pineapple chunks, mandarin orange segments, mini marshmallows, and shredded coconut. Mix gently to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Add the sour cream to the bowl. Fold it gently into the fruit and marshmallow mixture using a spatula, ensuring all ingredients are well-coated but not crushed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the marshmallows to soften slightly.
Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir to redistribute the creamy dressing. Serve chilled.
