Ingredients
- 1 oz can crushed pineapple or pineapple tid-bits (in juice) drained
- 1 oz can mandarin oranges (in juice) drained
- 1 cup sweetened or unsweetened shredded coconut I used unsweetened

- 1-4 Maraschino cherries for topping
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add the drained pineapple, drained mandarin oranges, shredded coconut, mini marshmallows and Greek yogurt (or sour cream).
- Gently fold all the ingredients together until the fruit and marshmallows are evenly coated.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours before serving. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld together.
