Grandma's 5 Cup Creamy Fruit Salad Recipe image

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges (drain well)
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple (drain well)
2 cups miniature marshmallows
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 cup sour cream

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.
