Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces orange sherbet
- 8 ounces whipped topping (thawed)
- 8 ounces crushed pineapple (drained)
- 11 ounces mandarin oranges (drained)
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 0.5 cups chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Remove the orange sherbet from the freezer and allow it to soften slightly at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to make it easier to mix.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened orange sherbet and the whipped topping. Gently stir until well combined and smooth.
Fold in the drained crushed pineapple and drained mandarin oranges. Mix gently to avoid breaking apart the fruit.
Add the mini marshmallows and chopped pecans (if using) to the mixture. Fold them in until evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to a serving dish or individual bowls. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to firm up.
Serve chilled and enjoy this creamy, fruity delight!
