Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Fruit

  1. Drain pineapple and mandarin oranges thoroughly to prevent excess liquid. Pat dry with paper towels if needed.

  2. Wash grapes, halve if large.

  3. Slice bananas just before assembling to prevent browning. (Optional: Toss lightly in lemon juice.)

  4. Wash, hull, and quarter strawberries.

Step 2: Make the Creamy Dressing

  1. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth.

  2. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until fully incorporated.

  3. Fold in whipped topping and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.

Step 3: Assemble the Salad

  1. In a large serving bowl, combine pineapple, mandarin oranges, grapes, bananas, and strawberries.

  2. Add marshmallows and coconut, if using.

  3. Pour dressing over fruit and gently toss until evenly coated.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

  1. Cover with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours.

  2. Toss gently before serving.

  3. Garnish with extra coconut or fresh fruit for presentation.

Tips for Success

  • Customization: Add blueberries, kiwi, or peaches to suit your taste.

  • Make-Ahead: Prepare a few hours in advance for best flavor; serve the same day for freshness.

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days (bananas may soften over time).

  • Light Version: Use low-fat cream cheese and whipped topping; omit marshmallows and coconut if desired.
