GRANDMA'S 5 CUP CREAMY FRUIT SALAD RECIPE



Grandma's 5 Cup Creamy Fruit Salad Recipe image

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges (drain well)
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple (drain well)
2 cups miniature marshmallows
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the oranges, pineapple, marshmallows, coconut, and sour cream.
  • Stir until completely mixed together.
  • You can eat it immediately after mixing, but we recommend that you refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours before serving so that the sour cream can be sweetened by the fruit.
  • Try these other variations: add in chopped walnuts or pecans for an added crunch; to make it sweeter, stir in a little powdered sugar - it will also offset the tartness from the sour cream; add in a small jar of maraschino cherries; add in a can of drained fruit cocktail; add in dried cranberries and a dash of cinnamon; stir in 2 Tablespoons of instant lemon pudding powder for a lemon-taste; use pina colada flavored yogurt in place of the sour cream; top with corn flakes for an added crunch; add diced apples (if you don't like coconut, apples are a great alternative because of the crunch); add grapes (red or green) that have been halved; add diced bananas; add some marshmallow creme in with the sour cream to sweeten it up.

Try to get the brand that is in juice or light syrup. The heavy syrup is not recommended for this recipe.

Tips:

  • To make the salad more colorful and appealing, use a variety of fruits. Some good options include grapes, oranges, pineapple, strawberries, and blueberries.
  • For a creamier salad, use full-fat sour cream or yogurt. You can also add a tablespoon of mayonnaise for extra richness.
  • If you don't have any canned fruit cocktail on hand, you can make your own by combining fresh or frozen fruits in a bowl.
  • This salad can be served immediately or chilled for later. It's a great make-ahead dish for potlucks or parties.
  • To save time, you can use a store-bought whipped topping instead of making your own.

Conclusion:

This creamy fruit cocktail salad is a delicious and refreshing treat that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give this recipe a try!
