Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup sour cream
1 cup pineapple chunks
1 cup mandarin oranges
1 cup maraschino cherries
1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
Prepare the ingredients: If using fresh pineapple, peel, core, and cut into bite-sized chunks. Drain the mandarin oranges and maraschino cherries if they are canned.
Combine the fruits: In a large mixing bowl, gently fold together the pineapple chunks, mandarin oranges, maraschino cherries, and mini marshmallows until evenly mixed.
Add the dressing: In a separate bowl, mix the sour cream with a touch of sugar if desired, then fold it into the fruit mixture.
Taste and adjust: Sample the salad and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar or a squeeze of lemon juice if necessary.
Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve: Stir the salad before serving to redistribute the dressing, ensuring each bite has a delightful mix of flavors.
