Creamy Fruit Salad Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks, drained
• 1 can (15 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained
• 1 cup maraschino cherries, halved
• 1 cup miniature marshmallows
• 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Fruit:
   • Drain the pineapple chunks and mandarin oranges well to avoid excess liquid in the salad.
   • Halve the maraschino cherries and set aside.
2. Mix the Ingredients:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained pineapple chunks, mandarin oranges, halved maraschino cherries, miniature marshmallows, and sweetened shredded coconut.
3. Add the Creamy Base:
   • Gently fold in the sour cream and whipped topping until all ingredients are well combined.
4. Chill the Salad:
   • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill.
5. Serve:
   • Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir. Serve chilled as a refreshing dessert or side dish.
