Ingredients

• 1 cup Canned pineapple chunks
• 1 cup Mandarin orange segments
• 1 cup Mini marshmallows
• 1 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
• 1 cup Sour cream

Directions

Step 1

Drain the canned pineapple chunks and mandarin orange segments thoroughly to prevent excess liquid in the salad.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pineapple chunks, mandarin orange segments, mini marshmallows, and shredded coconut. Mix gently to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 3

Add the sour cream to the bowl. Fold it gently into the fruit and marshmallow mixture using a spatula, ensuring all ingredients are well-coated but not crushed.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the marshmallows to soften slightly.

Step 5

Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir to redistribute the creamy dressing. Serve chilled.
