Fruity Marshmallow Salad

Fruity Marshmallow Salad
8 oz. soft cream cheese
1/2 cup sour cream, NOT light
10 oz. pkg. marshmallows, cut up or miniature(coloured or plain)
8 oz. pineapple tidbits
6 oz. maraschino cherries, halved
a handful of green seedless grapes, washed and halved
a handful of red seedless grapes, washed and halved
3/4 cup mandarin oranges, drained
3 Tbsps. pineapple juice
2 Tbsps. maraschino cherry juice to add a little colouring
8 oz. whipping cream
Method:
Place marshmallows in a large bowl and add drained pineapple, halved maraschino cherries, green and red seedless grapes, and mandarin oranges.
In another bowl, add pineapple juice and maraschino cherry juice to cream cheese and sour cream and beat well.
Fold the whipped cheese and sour cream mixture into marshmallows and fruit.
Now, the whipped cream is an optional add in - it's up to you. I like to place a dollop on top of each serving.
Refrigerate for approximately 2 hours.
Serve on a lettuce leaf.
Serves 4-6
