In a large bowl, combine sour cream (or yogurt) and whipped topping until smooth.
Stir in vanilla extract.
2. Add mix-ins
Gently fold in mandarin oranges, mini marshmallows, and shredded coconut (if using).
3. Chill
Cover and refrigerate for 1–2 hours to allow flavors to meld and salad to firm up.
4. Serve
Serve chilled as a side dish or dessert.
Optional: garnish with extra marshmallows, orange zest, or a sprinkle of coconut. 🌿
💡 Tips
For a lighter version, use fat-free yogurt and whipped topping.
Add sliced pineapple or crushed pineapple for extra fruity flavor.
Can be made a day ahead — flavors improve after sitting in the fridge.
