GRANDMA'S 5 CUP CREAMY FRUIT SALAD RECIPE
Yield 6
Number Of Ingredients 5
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:
- Use fresh, ripe fruits: The fresher the fruit, the better the salad will taste. Ripe fruits are also more flavorful and nutritious.
- Choose a variety of fruits: The more variety of fruits you use, the more colorful and flavorful your salad will be. A good mix of fruits to use includes berries, citrus fruits, tropical fruits, and stone fruits.
- Cut the fruits into bite-sized pieces: This will make them easier to eat and will help the flavors to blend together.
- Add some sweetness: If your fruits are not very sweet, you can add a little bit of honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar to taste.
- Add some crunch: You can add some crunch to your salad by adding some chopped nuts, seeds, or granola.
- Add some flavor: You can add some flavor to your salad by adding some herbs, spices, or extracts. Some good options include mint, basil, cinnamon, or nutmeg.
- Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld together and will make the salad more refreshing.
