7-CUP FRUIT SALAD
This is a recipe I have been making for years. My ex-mother-in-law gave it to me. It is easy to make and very good. A lot of time I leave out the fruit cocktail and add more of the other fruit and it is just as good.

GRANDMA'S 5 CUP CREAMY FRUIT SALAD RECIPE

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the oranges, pineapple, marshmallows, coconut, and sour cream.
- Stir until completely mixed together.
- You can eat it immediately after mixing, but we recommend that you refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours before serving so that the sour cream can be sweetened by the fruit.
- Try these other variations: add in chopped walnuts or pecans for an added crunch; to make it sweeter, stir in a little powdered sugar - it will also offset the tartness from the sour cream; add in a small jar of maraschino cherries; add in a can of drained fruit cocktail; add in dried cranberries and a dash of cinnamon; stir in 2 Tablespoons of instant lemon pudding powder for a lemon-taste; use pina colada flavored yogurt in place of the sour cream; top with corn flakes for an added crunch; add diced apples (if you don't like coconut, apples are a great alternative because of the crunch); add grapes (red or green) that have been halved; add diced bananas; add some marshmallow creme in with the sour cream to sweeten it up.

Tips for Making the Best 7-Cup Fruit Salad:
- Use a variety of fruits. This will give your salad a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include grapes, oranges, strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, and mango.
- Choose ripe fruits. Ripe fruits are sweeter and more flavorful. They will also hold their shape better in the salad.
- Cut the fruits into bite-sized pieces. This will make them easier to eat and will help them to blend together better.
- Toss the fruits with a dressing. This will help to keep them from browning and will add extra flavor. A simple dressing made with lemon juice, honey, and mint is a good option.
- Chill the salad before serving. This will help to keep the fruits crisp and refreshing.
