Creamy 5-Cup Fruit Salad
Description
The Creamy 5-Cup Fruit Salad brings together canned pineapple and mandarin oranges, fresh apple, and grapes, tossed in a mixture of sour cream and sweet shredded coconut. The pineapple and orange juices help to keep the apple pieces from browning, maintaining a fresh appearance. By gently coating all the fruits with sour cream and coconut, the salad gains a smooth, creamy texture contrasting with the juicy and crisp fruit pieces. After tossing, the salad is refrigerated for several hours, allowing the flavors to blend and the salad to chill. This fruit salad works well as a refreshing side dish or light dessert for various occasions.
Ingredients
- 1 (10-ounce) (10-ounce) can pineapple drained, chunks, about 1 cup
- 1 (11-ounce) (11-ounce) can mandarin oranges drained, about 1 cup
- 1 medium apple cored and chopped (about 1 cup)
- 1 cup grapes halved
- ½ cup sour cream light or regular
- ½ cup coconut sweetened shredded
Instructions
- Combine the fruit in a large bowl, tossing well so the apple (and other fruit that likes to brown) can get coated in the pineapple and orange juice to prevent browning. Stir in the sour cream and coconut, gently tossing to coat.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours prior to serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled. You might notice that after a day or so of sitting in the fridge, quite a bit of liquid from the fruit pools at the bottom. If eating the leftovers, I like to gently pour some of this off before eating.
