Ingredients

• 1 cup pineapple chunks
• 1 cup mandarin orange segments
• 1 cup kiwi slices
• 1 cup strawberries, hulled and quartered
• 1 cup mini marshmallows
• 1/2 cup shredded coconut
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup maraschino cherries, halved (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Fruit: Ensure all the fruit is washed, peeled, and cut into bite-sized pieces. Drain any excess juice from the canned fruits to avoid a watery salad.
2. Combine the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pineapple chunks, mandarin orange segments, kiwi slices, strawberries, mini marshmallows, shredded coconut, and maraschino cherries if using.
3. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
4. Mix the Salad: Pour the dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly. Be careful not to mash the fruit.
5. Chill and Serve: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and the salad to chill.
6. Garnish and Enjoy: Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir. Garnish with additional shredded coconut or a few more maraschino cherries if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy the refreshing tropical flavors.

Tips

• Feel free to add other fruits like mango, papaya, or grapes for variety.
• Use unsweetened shredded coconut if you prefer a less sweet salad.
• For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream.
