  • @donnachaobrien90
    @donnachaobrien90 Před rokem

    This is a great recipe but I would suggest emphasizing the order that the ingredients are placed in the bowl. After mixing the cool whip and sour cream until it's smooth, put the nuts and first because they're the densest ingredient, THEN fold in the coconut, followed by the marshmallows. Once that's nicely mixed fold in the grapes. Finally add the canned fruits as they are super soft and likely to get mushy. Obviously this salad is going to mix and bleed regardless but I think the less sloppy it is the better. I personally like it a lil more chunky 😊

    My laptop had no sound so I just went along with you. This was my very 1st attempt at making this salad. So, I do not know if you rinsed all the fruits that were in any type of syrup; I did to get rid of unnecessary sugars. I also used unsweetened coconut. I added about 1/2 cup extra grapes, mini marshmallows, walnuts vs. pecans (I had no pecans), and I used "Lite" sour cream. I loved it, and so did my rehab team at work. Thank you for the inspiration.

    • @ccjohnson6798
      @ccjohnson6798  Před 2 lety +1
