crafting + skills
To start this delicious salad, add the cream and sugar to a Kitchen Aid mixing bowl and beat until stiff peaks form. Add the sour cream and stir until combined. Stir in mini marshmallows, oranges, pineapple, strawberries, coconut, pecans and cherries until combined.
Transfer to a medium bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least an hour or two before serving. That’s it. It’s easy, right?
Wondering what other ingredients you can add to this salad? Try some of them:
- banana

in advance: Feel free to make this salad a day ahead – this will help it stay properly refrigerated before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, or cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. If stored properly, the leftover delicious salad will keep for about 3 days.
