Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 cup mandarin oranges
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 6 pieces maraschino cherries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Drain the pineapple chunks and mandarin oranges thoroughly to avoid excess liquid in the salad.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mini marshmallows, pineapple chunks, mandarin oranges, and shredded coconut.
In a separate bowl, gently fold together the sour cream and whipped topping until smooth and creamy.
Pour the sour cream and whipped topping mixture over the marshmallow and fruit mixture. Gently fold everything together until well combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the marshmallows to soften slightly.
Before serving, garnish the salad with maraschino cherries if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
