GRANDMA'S 5 CUP CREAMY FRUIT SALAD RECIPE



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.

Tips:

  • Fresh is Best: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh fruits that are in season. If you can't find fresh fruits, frozen fruits can also be used, but they may not be as flavorful.
  • Variety is Key: Use a variety of fruits to create a colorful and flavorful salad. Some good options include strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, grapes, oranges, pineapple, and melon.
  • Don't Overdo the Marshmallows: Marshmallows can add a sweet and fluffy texture to the salad, but don't overdo it. Too many marshmallows can make the salad too sweet and heavy.
  • Use a Light Dressing: A light dressing will help to keep the salad from becoming too heavy. A simple vinaigrette or yogurt dressing is a good option.
  • Chill Before Serving: Chilling the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving will help to blend the flavors and make the salad more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Six-cup marshmallow fruit salad is a classic summer side dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its combination of fresh fruits, marshmallows, and a light dressing, this salad is a refreshing and flavorful way to enjoy the season's bounty. Whether you're serving it at a potluck, barbecue, or family gathering, this salad is sure to be a hit.
