1 (8 oz) can pineapple tidbits, well drained
1 1/2 cups (120 g) sweetened shredded coconut
4 cups (200 g) mini marshmallows
Instructions

- Fold in the sour cream until smooth and creamy.
- Gently stir in mandarin oranges, cherries, pineapple tidbits, shredded coconut, and mini marshmallows.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to blend and salad to chill.

Notes
Chill overnight for deeper flavor and best texture.
Fresh fruit like grapes, strawberries, or bananas can be added.
Add cream cheese to the whipped mixture for extra richness.
Nuts such as pecans or walnuts add crunch.
Rinse and dry cherries well to prevent color bleeding.
