Well, since I had my Paula Deen magazines out, I had another recipe that I wanted to try. It came from the May/June 2008 issue. This salad sounded so easy, I had to give it a try. You do have to plan ahead for this salad. It has to chill for 8 hours. I was also worried how it was going to taste with the sour cream, but the sweetness from all the other ingredients adds to the flavor as it sits in the refrigerator. It was so easy and delicious. I just wish my family loved coconut as much as I do. I’ll have to make it when I am going somewhere else, like a potluck.
5-Cup Fruit Salad
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1 cup drained mandarin oranges
1 cup drained pineapple tidbits
1 cup sour cream
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Cover and chill for 8 hours.

Hi Laura, I just recently found your blog and I literally just made this recipe. I took a little bite before popping it in the fridge and it is delicious!
My mom makes a salad very similar to this one. I think the only difference is maraschino cherries in place of the coconut. It really is a great salad. I think that I will have to make it this week. Your blog looks great! I really like coming to see what new recipes you have posted.
That looks so good!! I think I am going to make it and take it camping this weekend!!
sounds yummy!
