Ingredients

  • 1 cup 240 ml cultured sour cream
  • 1 can 595 g / 21 oz cherry pie filling
  • 1 cup 120 g finely chopped sweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 can 565 g / 20 oz pineapple segments, thoroughly drained
  • 1 can 425 g / 15 oz mandarin orange slices, liquid removed
  • 1 cup 90 g miniature marshmallows
  • 1 cup 120 g crushed or chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  • In a spacious mixing bowl, place the well-drained pineapple pieces, mandarin orange segments, and the entire can of cherry pie filling. Gently fold the ingredients together to form a uniform fruit base.
  • Incorporate the sour cream into the fruit mixture, stirring gently until the cream fully envelops the fruit.
  • Add in the mini marshmallows, coconut flakes, and nuts if you are including them. Carefully fold these additions into the mixture, ensuring even distribution without breaking down the fruit.
  • Cover the bowl securely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour. This resting period allows the flavors to blend harmoniously.
  • Serve the chilled salad in individual dishes or cups. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
