Description
A classic creamy fruit dessert salad made with equal one-cup portions of sour cream, pineapple, mandarin oranges, cherries, and mini marshmallows for a quick, refreshing no-bake treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup pineapple chunks, roughly chopped and drained
- 1 cup mandarin oranges, drained
- 1 cup maraschino cherries, drained and halved with stems removed
- 1 cup miniature marshmallows
Instructions
- Drain the pineapple chunks, mandarin oranges, and maraschino cherries thoroughly.
- Roughly chop the pineapple chunks if they are large pieces.
- Slice the maraschino cherries in half and remove any stems.
- Place the sour cream in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the pineapple chunks, mandarin oranges, cherries, and miniature marshmallows.
- Gently fold the ingredients together until evenly coated with sour cream.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend.
- Stir gently before serving and serve chilled.
Notes
- Drain canned fruits well to prevent excess liquid in the salad.
- Chilling helps the marshmallows soften and the flavors combine.
- Fresh fruit can be used instead of canned fruit if properly prepared.
- Fold ingredients gently to keep the fruit pieces intact.
- This salad can be made several hours ahead of serving.
