Easy Marshmallow Fruit Salad Recipe
This marshmallow fruit salad mixes fresh strawberries, bananas, pineapples, mandarin oranges, marshmallows, and sour cream for a delicious treat!
I had this delicious marshmallow salad a lot growing up at holiday dinners, family gatherings, and potlucks. It’s definitely a major step up from a basic fruit cocktail!
A typical 5 Cup Fruit Salad is very similar, but this fruit salad utilizes fresh strawberries and bananas and omits the coconut. Totally delicious and comforting marshmallow mixture.
I am using my best guess on amounts for this recipe. Please use your best judgment and increase or decrease the fruit amounts listed to suit your tastes.
For this recipe, you will need:
- 1 large can pineapple tidbits – drained
- 2 small cans of mandarin oranges – drained
- 2 large sliced bananas
- 1 pint sliced strawberries
- 1 package mini marshmallows
- 1 small container sour cream 8 oz
Note: You can use more or less than a package. It all depends on how much you love marshmallows.

if you save the pineapple juice you can soak bananas in the juice so they don’t turn brown works with apples also.

Hello,just wandering what you can substitute for cream cheese as I have none on hand and would like to try some of the carrot and cream cheese recipes. I have too many carrots and need to use them up!! Just wandering if you have any good ideas?
Kind regards Debby
Hmmmm… the only things I can think of are cottage or ricotta cheese (plus some butter, perhaps)?
Or yogurt?
