My granny makes this every year at Easter. It is delicious and nobody would guess it has sour cream in it.

I forgot how good this salad is. My mom used to make it all the time and I just rediscovered the recipe on this site. It is something that is easy, is from ingredients I normally always have on hand AND that everyone thinks is great. I usually add some sliced bananas too.

This was pretty good but I thought it needed a little doctoring up. I tried to make it sweeter with more cool whip like someone else suggested. As I was eating it I kept wondering how I could make it better, but my husband must have loved it the way it was, because he ate half the bowl with his lunch today! I will make it again, with 1/2 and 1/2 sour cream and cool whip, a little more sugar and some bananas I think.

This reminds me so much of my Grandma and sleeping over at her house with my cousin. She always had these ingredients on hand for us because it's so easy for anyone to make. The only difference is that our recipe calls for 1 cup or 8 oz of each: 1 cup marshmallows, 1 cup coconut, 8 oz sour cream, 8 oz mandarin oranges, 8 oz crushed pineapple. Of course, I think the oranges & pineapple may just come in 11 oz cans, but we never cared since we both love pineapple & oranges.

Exceptionally good. Goes well as a side dish with many meals. I also add sliced maraschino cherries and a equal amount of cool whip with the sour cream and it still does not come out to sweet. I do not add the coconut because my son does not like it, however have it on the side for others to add if they choose. If you would like it a little sweeter - add a couple of teaspoons of your favorite flavor of jello gelatin to the mixture.

Loved this! Didn't add quite as much coconut as we have some non-eaters in our family, but it was still wonderful. Also mixed a bit of cream cheese in with the sour cream before adding fruit. Really yummy!

Very simple recipe, but wonderful. My oma used to take the coconut and put a little food coloring on it to suit the seasons; green for St. Pattie's day, red for Christmas, pink for easter, etc. Thanks for sharing this. Gives the salad just a slight color which is pretty cool.

This was delicious! It was my first time making it. My daughter didn't like the coconut flakes so I'll probably leave those out next time.

The presentation is beautiful. The taste is out of this world. A not too sweet fruit salad. I cut back on the marshmallows...just personal preference. Thanks, Trece, great salad.
