- 15 ounces mandarin oranges
- 20 ounces pineapple tidbits

- Mix everything except the sour cream together in a large bowl.
- Fold in sour cream.
- Chill for 24 hours. Top with extra fruit and nuts if desired. Add a little of the reserved pineapple juice, a tablespoon at a time, if the salad needs more moisture.
