Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh pineapple chunks

1 cup mini marshmallows

1 cup shredded sweetened coconut

1 cup Greek yogurt (vanilla or plain)

1/2 cup whipped cream (or whipped topping)

1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

1 tablespoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare Pineapple: Start by peeling, coring, and cutting the fresh pineapple into bite-sized chunks. You can also use canned pineapple, but fresh will elevate the flavors!

    Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and whipped cream until smooth and well-blended. If you prefer extra sweetness, mix in the honey at this stage.

      Combine Ingredients: Gently fold in the pineapple chunks, mini marshmallows, and shredded coconut into the yogurt mixture. Be careful not to break the pineapple chunks too much; you want to maintain a nice texture.

        Optional Add-ins: If you’re using nuts, add the chopped pecans or walnuts into the salad. This adds a delightful crunch that complements the creaminess.

          Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill nicely.

            Serve: Once chilled, give the salad a gentle stir before serving. Garnish with fresh mint leaves on top for a pop of color and flavor! Use a decorative serving bowl for a beautiful presentation.

              Enjoy: Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or a fun dessert at barbecues, potlucks, or family gatherings.
