Five Cup Salad

• 1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
• 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
• 2 cups miniature marshmallows
• 1 cup flaked coconut
• 6-8 ounces sour cream

Combine all ingredients.  Stir until well mixed.  Refrigerate.  Serve cold.

I had Five Cup Salad a couple of years ago at a Thanksgiving gathering.  It was absolutely delicious, and I asked what was in it, but I didn't get the recipe.  Yesterday, I searched for recipes and found this one on allrecipes.com.  I used 8 ounces of sour cream (instead of 6), and I think the next time I make it, I will cut the coconut down to 1/2 cup and crush up the mandarin oranges.  The flavors are delicious, but the balance didn't seem just right. 

This is the easiest side dish ever, and if I can get the balance right, it might become my "dish of choice" when I'm asked to bring food to a potluck.  So nice to spend 5 minutes on it with only one or two dirty dishes instead of spending an hour or more and having a whole kitchen to clean when the baking is done.
