- Marshmallows: use a bag of mini marshmallows from the baking aisle, but not the marshmallow fluff
- Oranges: you will need a can of mandarin oranges drained well

Recipe Notes
- Storage Suggestions: After serving this fluff salad recipe, place the leftovers in an airtight container and store it in the fridge for 2-3 days.
- Yogurt Type: We love to use the orange Chiobani Greek yogurt. I find that the Greek Yogurt makes this salad more fluffy and less runny. You can also use other yogurt flavors too!
- Favorite additions: Customize this salad by adding the following additions – dried bananas, maraschino cherries, or coconut flakes.
- If you use canned fruit, make sure you drain it VERY well or it will make your salad runny.
