This delightful fruity salad has been a family favorite for sixty years and was served with Easter dinner. The recipe was passed to our family my great aunt. We use the miniature fruit flavored marshmallows, which gives the salad a spring color.


My mom has made this ever since I can remember. She passed it on from NaNa. My family just loves it. Feels like home!


This recipe was passed down to me by my mother almost 50 years ago. The correct name is "5 Cup". We still make it every Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter in remembrance of my Mom!


I love this fruit salad. The only thing that I do differently is use a cup of Dannon's light and fit vanilla yogurt instead of the sour cream. That yogurt is soooo delicious in this recipe. I sometimes add green grapes cut in half and always double the recipe.Try it with the Dannon's light and fit vanilla. Outstanding !


My family has been making this for as long as I can remember. One tip is to mix the sour cream, coconut, and marshmallows together first, before mixing in the pineapple and mandarin oranges. This helps keep the mandarin oranges from being crushed by too much mixing.


This is so simple and tasty. Great dish to bring to potlucks.


I have been making this for years my family loves it


Very good! So simple with just a few ingredients. I will be making it again!
