- 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened

Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh cherries, pineapple chunks, and mandarin orange segments. Gently toss to distribute the fruits evenly.
Step 2
Add the mini marshmallows, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans or walnuts (if using) to the bowl. Toss gently to mix.

Step 7
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
