Ingredients

3 (20 ounce) cans pineapple tidbits, drained
4 (15 ounce) cans mandarin oranges, drained
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
1 (10.5 ounce) package miniature marshmallows
¾ cup shredded coconut, or to taste

Directions

Mix pineapple, oranges, sour cream, marshmallows, and coconut together in a bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until flavors blend, 2 hours to overnight.

Cook's Notes:

You CAN serve the salad immediately, but I recommend letting it set in the fridge for a few hours as it lets the flavors combine and taste even better. You can make this recipe healthier by using fresh fruit and low or reduced-fat sour cream (which we do), but I do not recommend omitting the marshmallows unless you have your own substitution that can pick up the texture. For more flavor you can add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to taste.
