Great fruit salad and very easy to make. I tossed apple and banana with a bit of fresh lemon to keep them from browning so I could make it a couple of hours in advance. This is really more like 10-15 servings though. Make sure you start with a large bowl--those mini marshmallows take up some space!

Thank you Carol. My mother made this salad every year on thanksgiving (minus the coconut) but I couldn't remember exactly what was in it or how to put it together. Came across your recipe, and it brought back a flood of memories. Thanks again. It's delicious
