Ingredients
- 20 ounce pineapple drained, crushed, canned
- 15 ounce mandarin oranges drained, canned
- 10 ounces maraschino cherries destemmed, pitted, and quartered
- 8 ounce frozen whipped topping thawed, container
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
- 2/3 cup sour cream
- 1 cup coconut sweetened shredded
Instructions
- In a large bowl, stir together the crushed pineapple, mandarin oranges, and maraschino cherries.
- Add the whipped topping, marshmallows, and sour cream.
- Stir to combine.
- Stir in the coconut.
- Cover and chill until ready to use.
Notes
- Pineapple: To drain the pineapple, I place it in a fine wire mesh colander and squeeze it out.
- Maraschino cherries: Feel free to use a 16 ounce jar if you like more cherries in your salad. Also, I don't use much if any of the juice in the salad, but you can add as much, or as little, as you like.
- Frozen whipped topping: You can use Cool Whip, Tru-Whip, CocoWhip, or any brand of frozen whipped topping that you like.
- Sour cream: I don't recommend fat-free sour cream in this recipe. Light or full-fat will work. Also, fat-free (or 2% or whole-milk) plain Greek yogurt will work. If you're looking for a sweeter salad, you can use vanilla Greek yogurt.
