Ingredients
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup mandarin oranges, drained
- 1 cup pineapple chunks, drained
- 0.5 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 cup red seedless grapes, halved
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt and honey (if using) until smooth and well incorporated.
Add the mini marshmallows into the bowl and fold gently to coat them with the yogurt.
Fold in the mandarin oranges, pineapple chunks, grapes, and shredded sweetened coconut. Stir gently to avoid breaking apart the fruit.
If using, mix in the chopped pecans or walnuts for added crunch and texture.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and transfer it to a serving dish or individual bowls.
Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of shredded coconut or additional nuts for presentation. Serve chilled and enjoy!
