PERFECT SUMMER FRUIT SALAD

The perfect fruit salad for a backyard bbq or any occasion. There are never leftovers! This is one of my favorite fruit salad recipes, as I think the sauce really makes it. This salad is tastier the longer you can let it soak in its juices. I prefer 3 to 4 hours in the refrigerator before I serve it. Enjoy.

My Sister got this recipe in high school home ec class in the 60's. I have adapted it to make enough for our family. The original recipe was called 5 cup salad. Mine turns into a 10 cup salad.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 - 8oz pkg philly creamed cheese, softened
2 large cans pineapple tidbits, drained well
3 medium cans mandarin orange segments, drained well
3 c mini marshmallows
2 c coconut, flaked

Steps:

  • 1. 1/2 hour before you start making the salad, open and drain the pineapple and oranges in a strainer separately. Let drain for 30 minutes to get all excess juice out. (I use the juice in the punch we make every holiday)
  • 2. In a large bowl thoroughly cream the creamed cheese. Add pineapple, coconut, and marshmallows. Stir together then gently stir in oranges so they don't break up (like they did in my pic). Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving time. Enjoy!
