Step 3: Combine the Ingredients

• Fold in:
  • Crushed pineapple
  • Halved grapes
  • Mini marshmallows
  • Maraschino cherries
  • Chopped nuts and/or shredded coconut (if using)

Tip: Use a spatula to fold gently and evenly, so you don’t break up the fruit or deflate the cream.

Step 4: Chill

• Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results. Chilling allows the flavors to blend and the marshmallows to soften.

Step 5: Serve

• Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir.
• Garnish with extra cherries or a sprinkle of coconut or nuts if desired.
• Serve in individual cups, a salad bowl, or on a bed of lettuce for a fancy touch.

🍴 Variations and Tips

• Dairy-Free Version: Use coconut yogurt and dairy-free whipped topping.
• Healthier Option: Use plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and skip the marshmallows.
• More Fruit Options: Add mandarin oranges, apples, or strawberries for extra sweetness.
• For Kids: Make mini parfaits in clear cups with layers of Heavenly Salad and granola.
