If I ever need a quick fruit salad to bring to a fellowship meal, funeral, or Ladies' Night Out, this is the one I usually prepare. It's so quick and easy.
1 cup mandarin oranges (drained)
1 small can pineapple chunks or tidbits (drained)
1 cup coconut
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1 cup sour cream (The sour cream blends so well with the other ingredients; plus, it "tones" down all of the sweetness.)
Mix all the ingredients together and store in the refrigerator.
I grew up eating this salad because Mother fixed it all the time. It was a very common staple during those years. There are so many old recipes that have fallen by the wayside. I think this is probably one of them.
I love this easy salad and make it at least once a month. We called it "5 cup salad". Everyone always wants to know what the dressing is...
ReplyDeleteI know it by the "5 cup salad" name, also. It's funny how recipes go by different names. Isn't it amazing what something as simple as sour cream can do to a fruit salad. Thanks for your comment.
