Five-Cup Salad

Combine
  • 1 c pineapple chunks, drained
  • 1 c mandarin oranges, drained
  • 1 c coconut
  • 1 c sour cream
  • 1 c mini marshmallows
If possible, refrigerate overnight. Easy to multiply.

**************************
I substitute my thick, plain yogurt for the sour cream, and sometimes a tin of sliced peaches (halved & drained) for mandarin oranges, which we can't often get here. It's called many things in cookbooks--ambrosia, for example--and sometimes people add chopped nuts or dates. I've seen it in different forms. It makes a good dessert, as well as a salad with dinner (especially for a sweet-toothed family like mine!).

Thanks for the recipe. I've been wanting to make it since we came back, but couldn't remember what was in it.
