Five Cup Creamy Fruit Salad

I had to take dinner to someone and needed a quick side that I had ingredients for.  I ended up making this a couple times that week because it was so easy.

Grandma’s Five Cup Creamy Fruit Salad

Ingredients:

1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained

1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained

1-2 cups miniature marshmallows

1 cup flaked coconut  (I skipped this the second time because my kids don't like coconut and added bananas and strawberries) 

1 cup sour cream (light works great)*

*Don’t be scared of the sour cream! I know it sounds weird. I promise that all the sweetness from the other ingredients evens it all out. It’s delicious!

Directions:

Make sure your fruit is VERY well-drained or you will have a watery salad. Combine the oranges, pineapple, marshmallows, coconut, and sour cream. Stir until all mixed together. Refrigerate for 4-8 hours before serving. 

Variations: 

-Use vanilla yogurt in place of sour cream.

-Use Pina Colada yogurt in place of sour cream.

-Add 1/2 cup maraschino cherries.

-Add chopped pecans for a crunch.

-Top with corn flakes for a crunch.

-Use Cool-Whip in place of sour cream.
