Description

This Easter Fruit Fluff Salad is a delightful, creamy fruit salad perfect for holiday gatherings or any festive occasion. It combines crushed pineapple, fresh grapes and strawberries, mini marshmallows, and optional shredded coconut in a luscious whipped topping and vanilla yogurt dressing. After chilling, the flavors meld beautifully to create a light, sweet, and refreshing dessert or side dish that everyone will love.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup green grapes, halved
  • 1 cup strawberries, chopped

Other

  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional)
  • 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (Cool Whip)
  • 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit: Drain the crushed pineapple thoroughly using a fine mesh strainer to remove excess juice. Wash the grapes and slice them in half. Chop the strawberries into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Make the Creamy Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the whipped topping with the vanilla yogurt. If you prefer a sweeter salad, stir in powdered sugar to taste. Mix the ingredients until smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the drained pineapple, mini marshmallows, halved grapes, chopped strawberries, and shredded coconut (if using) to the bowl with the creamy dressing. Gently fold everything together, taking care to not crush the fruit or marshmallows.
  4. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salad for at least 2 hours. This chilling step allows the flavors to meld and the salad to firm up slightly.
  5. Serve: Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir. Optionally, garnish with extra shredded coconut or fresh fruit. Serve chilled as a sweet side dish or dessert.

Notes

  • Be sure to drain the pineapple well to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Chilling for at least 2 hours enhances flavor melding and texture.
  • Shredded coconut is optional but adds a nice texture and flavor contrast.
  • Adjust powdered sugar according to your preferred sweetness level.
  • This salad is best served chilled but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
