Ingredients

• 1 package orange gelatin mix (6 oz package)
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 cup cold water
• 15 oz canned mandarin oranges, drained
• 2 cups mini marshmallows
• 8 oz whipped topping, thawed
• 1 cup vanilla yogurt
• 0.5 cup shredded coconut (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the orange gelatin mix in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 2

Add 1 cup of cold water to the dissolved gelatin mixture and stir to combine. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, which may take about 10-15 minutes.

Step 3

Once cooled, gently fold in the drained mandarin oranges, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 4

Add the mini marshmallows, whipped topping, and vanilla yogurt to the bowl. Using a spatula, fold the ingredients together gently to create a light and fluffy consistency.

Step 5

If desired, fold in the shredded coconut for an extra layer of texture and flavor.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 2-3 hours, or until thoroughly chilled and set.

Step 7

Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir to ensure all ingredients are well combined. Serve in individual bowls or as a side dish alongside your favorite meal.
