Preparation

  • Gather your ingredients: ensure all your ingredients are prepared beforehand—chop the pineapple, measure the marshmallows, and have your nuts ready.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine mini marshmallows, chopped pineapple, coconut flakes, and chopped pecans or almonds.
  • Gently fold in the sour cream or Greek yogurt until everything is well-coated.
  • For the best flavor, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to an hour.
  • Give it a final gentle stir and serve it chilled!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Avoid freezing as the texture may change. Serve leftovers chilled again after a good stir.
