20 oz can
crushed pineapple or pineapple tid-bits (in juice)
drained
1
10-15 oz can
mandarin oranges (in juice)
drained

I used unsweetened

cup
full fat plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
1-4
maraschino cherries
for topping
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the drained pineapple, drained mandarin oranges, shredded coconut, mini marshmallows and Greek yogurt (or sour cream).
Gently fold all the ingredients together until the fruit and marshmallows are evenly coated.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours before serving. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld together.
Just before serving, you can garnish with a few maraschino cherries and a sprinkle of shredded coconut if you like.
