Marilyn's Fruit Salad



Ingredients

1 smalll can  Mandarin Oranges drained
1 can Pineapple chunks drained
3 Apples diced
1 basket Strawberries *sliced longwise* (see note below)
½ cup Coconut
½ cup chopped Walnuts
1 16 oz container Sour cream
1 container Strawberry Cool Whip

Put all ngredients into a  2½ to 3 quart bowl. In another bowl mix the two containers of Cool Whip and Sour Cream thoroughly with a wire whisk. Fold into fruit making sure all the fruit is covered with the  dressing. Refridgerate at least 1-2 hours before serving so the dressing will set. 

*note: the easiest way to slice the strawberries is to use an egg slicer for uniform slices.

Marilyn - This sounds like it would look so pretty as well as tasting oh so good!

I don't think we can get strawberry coolwhip here.  Do you just get the white, then add a bit of food coloring?  Bet that would work!

I'm always interested in trying new dishes.

Thanks for this one!

We get the strawberry it is a new item along with french vanilla. But you could add a little strawberry jello powder to give it some flavor and color.
