Granny's 5 Cup Salad

1. Mix the sour cream with the coconut.

2. Add the pineapple, then stir in the Marshmallows.

3. Finally, add the mandarin oranges and blend slowly. I add these last so that they aren't over-mixed and break apart.

Notes

• It's best to make this several hours in advance so that the flavors have time to blend.

• I usually double this recipe as 1 regular can of pineapple chunks is approximately 2 cups. 1 can of oranges is approximately 1 cup, so I get two. And I buy my sour cream in a 16-ounce container to have my 2 cups of sour cream. This eliminates a lot of measuring.

• The colored marshmallows are festive during the holidays. I use the rabbit shaped ones at Easter.
