Mom's Five Cup Salad

April


1 c. canned Mandarin oranges, drained
1 c. crushed pineapple
1 c. sour cream
1 c. coconut
1 c. miniature marshmallows

Combine and mix well. Chill before serving.

There is a secret to this delightful recipe. Mom instructed me not to add those extra few oranges or marshmallows just because you have some extra. It throws the balance of taste off. She was right.
She holds the record for the best Potato Salad for a get together and this is right behind it.
For your next event requiring a dish, try this! A little goes a long way and the presentation is beautiful.

Thanks Mom for teaching me to enjoy Lawrence Welk. I still watch him.
