Ingredients
- 15 oz can Mandarin oranges, drained
- 20 oz can Pineapple tidbits, drained
- 1 cup Miniature marshmallows
- 0.5 cup Shredded coconut, unsweetened
- 1 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 0.5 cup Maraschino cherries, drained and halved (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained mandarin oranges, drained pineapple tidbits, miniature marshmallows, and shredded coconut.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the low-fat plain Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey until smooth and well combined.
Pour the yogurt mixture over the fruit mixture in the large bowl.
Gently toss everything together until the fruit and marshmallows are evenly coated with the yogurt dressing.
