When I lost this recipe, I searched everywhere for one just like it. None of them had the dressing, which, IMO, makes this fruit salad. The dressing is very similar to what's used in Taffy Apple Salads, so I used that for awhile. I finally found my mom's recipe in a basket full of old recipes and want to post it here. I could eat all of this in one sitting. I don't care for the coconut, so I don't add it. I also guessed on the number of servings. Prep time includes time spent whisking dressing. Ingredients:
1 cup mandarin orange, drained |
1 cup pineapple tidbits, drained (save juice for dressing from approx 20 ounce can) |
1 cup miniature marshmallow |
1 cup coconut |
1 cup sour cream |
1/4 cup sugar |
1 egg, beaten |
2 tablespoons flour |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
juice from drained pineapple |
Directions:
1. Mix the first five ingredients together in large mixing bowl.
2. Dressing:.
3. Combine the rest of the ingredients for the dressing in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat til thickened, stirring constantly(I use a whisk).
4. Let dressing cool slightly then pour over salad and chill. Serve cold.
