8 ounces Cool Whip regular or light
½ cup nonfat Greek Yogurt or sour cream, regular or light
20 ounces pineapple crushed and drained well
11 ounces mandarin oranges drained well
10 ounces maraschino cherries drained and halved
½ cup sweetened coconut flakes shredded or flakes
1 - 2 cups mini-marshmallows as little or as much as you like
1 cup pecans coarsely chopped, can use almonds, cashews, walnuts, macadamia, pistachios, or sunflower seeds

Romove stems and quarter cherries.
In a large bowl, fold sour cream and Cool Whip together.
Fold in remaining ingredients making sure the pineapple, oranges, and cherries have been drained well.
You can serve immediately or refrigerate. I like to refrigerate it for 30 to 60 minutes before serving.
Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container and use within 48 hours. This salad begins to get watery and decline in texture after 48 hours.
