A couple of weeks ago, I got some incredible deals on sour cream and on marshmallows. I always have coconut on hand, because of my homemade granola addiction. I also always buy mandarin oranges and pineapple at case lot sales for recipes that I love the make. (I use the mandarin oranges for smoothies and the pineapple for a mandarin chicken recipe.)
Those are the 5 ingredients needed for 5 cup salad!
This is so easy to make, it's just 1 cup of each ingredient. (I must ask: is it weird to put marshmallows in a fruit salad? Considering where I live and grew up, I'm thinking it's pretty standard. I must ask this because I have a grandmother that regularly put chocolate chips in her fruit salads and then upgraded later and started putting chopped Snickers bars in instead.)
So, to review:
1 cup crushed or tidbit pineapple
1 cup mandarin oranges
1 cup coconut
1 cup marshmallows
1 cup sour cream
The easiest and, for me, the most frugal fruit salad I could make! Here is my daughter mixing it up. (It actually disappeared pretty quickly at the family party!)
