# Ingredients You’ll Need:

01 - 15 oz Mandarin oranges, drained well

02 - 20 oz pineapple chunks, drained well

03 - 12 oz maraschino cherries, drained well

04 - 3/4 cup vanilla Greek yogurt (6 oz container)

05 - 1 cup shredded coconut

06 - 1 cup mini marshmallows

07 - 8 oz Cool Whip whipped topping, thawed

08 - Chopped pecans, as desired

01 - Drain oranges, pineapple and cherries thoroughly and remove cherry stems. Thaw whipped topping in the refrigerator according to its label.

02 - Combine yogurt, coconut and marshmallows, then fold in the drained fruit. Fold in whipped topping gently with a spatula.

03 - Cover and refrigerate for about an hour. Fold lightly before serving rather than beating the mixture.

04 - Add optional nuts just before serving and keep the remaining salad chilled.

01 - Drain it away. The yogurt and topping already provide the moisture needed for this mixture.

02 - Mandarin segments break easily and whipped topping loses volume with vigorous stirring.
