1 cup maraschino cherries

1 cup mini marshmallows

1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut (optional)

1 cup whipped topping

1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

1. Drain the canned pineapple chunks and mandarin oranges well to avoid extra moisture.

2. Peel and slice the bananas into thick coins; optionally toss them in a bit of lemon juice to prevent browning.

3. In a large bowl, mix the whipped topping and sour cream together until smooth.

4. Gently fold in the pineapple, mandarin oranges, bananas, maraschino cherries, mini marshmallows, and coconut if using.

5. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. Stir gently before serving.

Notes

For best results, serve within 24 hours of preparing for peak freshness.

Add bananas just before serving if making the salad ahead of time.

For a tangier twist, substitute half the whipped topping with vanilla Greek yogurt.
