5 Cup Fruit Salad
5 Cup Fruit Salad is a simple vintage recipe that's a great make ahead and is perfect for any occasion. As the name suggests, it only contains five ingredients. Chill at least four hours before serving.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut for toasting optional
- 1 cup canned pineapple chunks drained
- 1 cup canned mandarin oranges drained
- 1 cup miniature marshmallows
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Add 1/4 cup shredded sweetened coconut to a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir constantly until browned.
- When browned, remove to a bowl and set aside.
- Drain pineapple and mandarin oranges.
- Add sour cream, one cup untoasted coconut, half of toasted coconut, and marshmallows to a medium size bowl. Stir until well blended.
- Add pineapple and mandarin oranges.
- Gently fold in so as not to break the fruit. Cover and chill for at least four hours before serving.
- Remove to a serving dish and garnish with remaining toasted coconut.
Notes
The additional of toasted coconut is optional. I find it gives a layer of more intense coconut flavor and some added texture.
