Sweet 5 cup Salad
This is an amazingly sweet, yet healthy fruit salad. Once in a while you can break away from that diet and treat yourself. This is great for a holiday get together.
Ingredients
- 1 cup pineapple chunks, drained
- 1 cup mandarin oranges, drained
- 1 cup flaked coconut
- 1 cup small low-fat marshallows
- 1 cup fat-free sour cream
Instructions
- Mix the sour cream with the coconut.
- Add the pineapple.
- Then stir in the marshmallows.
- Finally add the mandarin oranges and blend slowly.
- I add these last so that they aren't overmixed and break apart.
- It's best to make this several hours in advance so that the flavors have time to blend.
Notes: I usually double this recipe as 1 regular can of pineapple chunks is approx. 2 cups. 1 can of oranges is approximately 1 cup, so I get two. And I buy my sour cream in a 16 oz. container to have my 2 cups of sour cream. This eliminates alot of measuring. The colored marshmallows are festive during the holidays. I use the rabbit shaped ones at Easter.
