Aunt Sharon's Summer Salad

This fresh and fruity salad is the perfect finale to a summer BBQ.  Many people have heard of Ambrosia Salad but the fruit is typically only mandarins and pineapple, my Aunt Sharon added in lots of fresh summer fruit and it quickly became a family classic. Even though every bite is a different flavour combination, I still remember saving all of the marshmallows in my bowl to savour at the end!!! We still make this every summer season and remember my lovely Aunt Sharon and all that she shared with us.

Ingredients
1 cup of sour cream (you can use lite if you desire, notice I didn't list it as my first choice though!)
1 cup of sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup of mini marshmallows
Chopped fresh fruit that is in season ie: Pineapple, Strawberries, Blueberries, Blackberries, Raspberries, Grapes, Bing Cherries

Add the desired amount of fruit to your salad, fold all ingredients together and refrigerate for several hours.  It really is best made in the morning and left to sit until an evening meal.
