Amazing! I used lite sour cream to cut back on the fat and calories a little bit. Per another reviewer's comment, I added some food coloring. This dish looks great in pink! It was so easy, I'll be making it all the time and I won't change a thing. Thanks for sharing!

I grew up on 5 cup, but the way we made it was, literally, 5 ingredients and 5 cups. One cup pineapple chunks, one cup mandarin oranges, one cup shredded coconut, one cup mini marshmallows and one cup sour cream. Fold all ingredients together and refrigerate until cold. Every Thanksgiving and Easter we serve this dish!

My grandma has been making this for our family for 40 years or more. I've never added the coconut before though. We do add diced canned pears, drained, and use fat free sour cream. ALL the children love it and even my husband, who doesn't like marshmellows, loves it!

This is so good, I take this to family get togethers a lot. Everyone loves it, I add marachino cherries to mine. Always a big hit!

Cut back on the coconut. Can use whip cream, yougurt, or low fat sour cream. Yummy

Wow. I had never heard of this before, but I made it with fresh diced pineapple, an orange (peeled, cut into rings and then into section bits), Greek yogurt and unsweetened coconut. It is awesome! I skipped the marshmallows, but I'm sure they'd be great if you liked them. It made a great breakfast.

Next time, I will use little or no coconut as my family had issues with texture.

It doesn't get any easier than this! I've always hated Ambrosia-type salads because they are cloyingly sweet and drippy and full of marshmallows which I detest. Using sour cream instead of whipped topping and no fruit cocktail makes all the difference in the world! This has the perfect amount of sweetness for the tangy tropical fruits. I didn't even mind the marshmallows! Yummy!!

This is so good! I made this the first time using yogurt because of the reviews and didn't like it. I'm so glad I made it again like it calls with the sour cream because it's so much better. Don't change it!
