A fun, easy summer salad that Kenny loves to help make

Ingredients

• 1 cup pineapple chunks, drained
• 1 cup mandarin oranges, drained
• 1 cup flaked coconut
• 1 cup small marshallows
• 1 cup vanilla yogurt (Greek is good because it's thicker)

Instructions

1. Mix the yogurt with the coconut.
    
2. Add the pineapple, then stir in the marshmallows.
    
3. Finally, add the mandarin oranges and blend slowly.  I add these last so that they aren't over-mixed and break apart.

Notes

• It's best to make this several hours in advance so that the flavors have time to blend.
   
• I usually double this recipe as 1 regular can of pineapple chunks is approximately 2 cups. 1 can of oranges is approximately 1 cup, so I get two. And I buy my yogurt in a 16-ounce container to have my 2 cups of yogurt. This eliminates a lot of measuring.
   
• The colored marshmallows are festive during the holidays. I use the rabbit shaped ones at Easter.
