1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, miniature marshmallows, and sour cream. Mix until well blended.
2. Gently fold in the pineapple chunks, mandarin orange segments, and maraschino cherries, taking care not to break the fruit.
3. If desired, add the chopped pecans for a little extra crunch and flavor.
4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5. Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and transfer it to a beautiful serving dish.
Variations & Tips
For those with a sweeter tooth, swap the sour cream with Greek yogurt or whipped topping. For a more tropical twist, consider adding diced mango or a spoonful of coconut cream. And if you’re looking to make it even more festive, a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes on top will add both flavor and flair. Feel free to play around with the ingredients – after all, every dish should be uniquely yours.
