Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can 15 ounces of mandarin oranges, drained
  • 1 can 20 ounces of crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 cup of miniature marshmallows
  • 1 cup of shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1 cup of sour cream or yogurt if you prefer
  • 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips optional for a decadent twist

Method
 

  1. Drain the Fruits: Begin by draining the mandarin oranges and crushed pineapple. Make sure to remove excess moisture to keep your salad from becoming too soggy.
  2. Mix the Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream (or yogurt) with the drained mandarin oranges and crushed pineapple. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the fruits are coated in the creamy mixture.
  3. Add the Fluff: Fold in the miniature marshmallows and shredded coconut into the fruity concoction. Mix gently so as not to break the marshmallows.
  4. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: When you’re ready to serve, give the salad a final stir, and feel free to sprinkle the mini chocolate chips on top for a little extra sweetness!
