Description

This classic American fruit salad is a delightful mix of textures and flavors. Crisp Golden Delicious and Red Delicious apples provide a fresh crunch, while juicy pineapple chunks add tropical sweetness. Miniature marshmallows melt slightly into the creamy mayonnaise dressing, creating a rich, dessert-like coating. Flaked coconut, chopped walnuts, and raisins add chew and nuttiness, making every bite interesting. Perfect for summer picnics, potlucks, or as a nostalgic side dish for holiday dinners. It tastes best when chilled for a few hours, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Peel and dice one large Golden Delicious apple and one large Red Delicious apple.
  2. Place the diced apples in a large mixing bowl and toss with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to prevent browning.
  3. Drain 20 oz of canned pineapple chunks and add them to the bowl with the apples.
  4. Add 1 cup of miniature marshmallows, 2/3 cup of flaked coconut, 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts, and 1/4 cup of raisins to the bowl.
  5. Mix 1/4 cup of mayonnaise with 2 tablespoons of thinly sliced celery in a small separate bowl until smooth.
  6. Pour the mayonnaise dressing over the fruit and nut mixture, then toss gently until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  7. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to blend and marshmallows to soften slightly.
  8. Serve chilled as a side dish or light dessert.
