Serving6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 (14 ounce) can fruit cocktail, drained
- 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple tidbits, drained
- 12 ounces vanilla yogurt
- ½ cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup miniature marshmallows
Equipment
Instructions
- Toss your fruit together in a large mixing bowl. Make sure to drain the juice out of any canned fruit you are using to avoid your salad from getting too runny.
- Gently fold in your vanilla yogurt. You can use Greek yogurt if you want to add some additional protein, but vanilla yogurt is the creamiest option.
- Store your salad in an airtight container until you’re ready to eat it.
Notes
We usually like to make this about 30 minutes before we eat. I feel like the marshmallows tend to get really mushy if I do it much more before then (however- some people like the marshmallows that way).
You can customize this recipe by adding maraschino cherries, mini marshmallows, sweetened coconut flakes, or cottage cheese.
