Ooh that sounds refreshing! I love pineapple!
I’ll have to give this a try. It sounds great!
I never would have thought to put sour cream on fruit. :)
Yum and how easy is it? wow. I really like this recipe :)
Can’t wait to try this fruit salad
I think that chopped macadamia nuts would be good in this. I haven’t tried sour cream with fruit before.
My grandma always called this recipe “Ambrosia”. A family favorite!
I am making this today!
Good timing! I just got a pineapple.
I love salads that don’t require too much chopping.
This looks yummy! Thanks for sharing!
I will be giving this a try. I made even had some chopped nuts. Thank you!
I probably will use greek yogurt which I sub for sour cream. This looks yummy!
Looks good!
Looks amazing!
We’ve been making this recipe for years and love it!!! It’s a great one to take to a potluck!
Sounds like something I need to try!
I love the sour cream/vanilla idea for a dressing. This is simple and sounds good!
This sounds really good. I might make this for Christmas Eve!
I like coconut with fruit salad.
Tastes great as a frozen treat too!
Sounds easy!
Great idea! My littles won’t eat this if they see the sour cream. Would you freeze it as is, in chunks, or make it a smoothie texture for a Popsicle mold?
I have a similar salad on our menu for our Christmas Eve snacky supper.
A healthier version of a childhood favorite- thanks!
Yummy! I will be making this!
That is perfect for a potluck I am going to. And so easy! Thanks for sharing.
My kiddos will love this!!
Yum!
THAT is how you make THIS salad?? Genius!! I just picked up a pineapple for $1 this weekend. Thank you!!
Mmm… delicious! Pineapple, oranges, and coconut sounds perfect.
Where do you find coconut flakes? Sound delish!
Looks so tasty!
We have family in town. I added this to today’s lunch, and it was SO good!
Yum! This sounds so good!
I will have to try this one, it sounds yummy!
I make this quite often, but haven’t used vanilla extract in it. Usually put a few drops of stevia in. Will try vanilla the next time.
This ! is a healthier version of one I grew up with too…we called it ‘Heavenly Salad’! Hah!
I know Laura doesn’t usually like nuts but ours always had walnuts (and mini marshmallows but I don’t know a healthy source for those).
Flaked coconut is just regular shredded coconut. Both Bob’s Red Mill and Eileen’s make an unsweetened version. I find Eileen’s in the baking section next to the sweetened coconut and BRM in the natural food section of my grocery store.
This looks yummy! Do you drain the canned fruit? I’m also going to try this with my homemade Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
Thanks for sharing this recipe! I made it today and enjoyed it.
Yes, I do drain the fruit if it’s canned. :)
Looks easy to make and I like all of the fruit in it
