1 cup mini marshmallows Adds sweetness and texture
1/2 cup shredded coconut Optional for added texture

Preparation

In a large bowl, combine the Cool Whip, mixed fruit, and mini marshmallows.
If desired, toss in the shredded coconut and chopped nuts for a delicious crunch.
Gently fold all the ingredients together until they are well mixed.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. The colder, the better!
Serve cold as a vibrant, sweet side for your Easter feast.

Notes

Letting the salad chill allows the flavors to mingle beautifully. Serve it in a clear bowl to showcase its vibrant colors. It pairs well with sliced ham or as a topping for Easter cake.
