Tropical Marshmallow Fruit Salad – mandarin oranges, pineapple, kiwi, coconut, and marshmallow in a sweet and creamy dressing. The perfect side dish or dessert for all your summer barbecues and potlucks!
Hi guys, happy Wednesday!
How’s the week?
This is my favorite time of year weather wise (I say that literally every season but winter) because it’s warm enough to hike in shorts but you don’t sweat to death.
Plus, there aren’t mosquitos yet which makes soccer so much nicer.
And oh my gosh, we had a game last night that resulted in our coach being ejected for yelling at the referee. Apparently, you are not allowed to ask the ref if he plans on calling anything.
It was a wild night in under 10 soccer.
Tropical Marshmallow Fruit Salad!
One of my most popular recipes on the blog is my Marshmallow Fruit Salad. It literally looks like a bowl of marshmallows. But 362 days out of the year, it’s in the top 10 recipes on this blog.
I wanted to kind of remake that with a more tropical feel.
So this is mandarin oranges, pineapple, kiwi, and coconut tossed in a dressing made from sour cream and Cool Whip. And with most of a bag of marshmallows thrown in, too.
I don’t know why I love these fruit salads so much but I do. All the different textures with the smooth and slightly tangy dressing just makes the perfect fruit salad.
It’s so easy and you can make it ahead of time but be warned that it will become juicier the longer it sits. I just end up serving it with a slotted spoon, no big deal.

This sweet marshmallow conquered my whole family and broke my heart! It’s always nice to cook something at home, rather than buying in a store. It was easy for me to cook it, and even easier to eat it all! Thanks for the recipe, I’ll go do it again!
