    Can confirm. I’ll be bringing Marshmallow Salad (a sacred family tradition) to Christmas dinner this year.

    In case you’re curious, here’s the recipe:

    • 1 big bag of mini marshmallows
    • 1 large can of fruit cocktail
    • 8oz tub of sour cream

    Mix them together in your potluckiest bowl and let it sit overnight.

    And yes, it’s delicious.

      No it’s not. Atrocious. Source: was forced fed this abomination in PA one time.

      Have you tried this with full fat, tangy yogurt instead of sour cream? I bet it would be better. Sour cream and fruit just sounds… Awful.

        The sour cream has some sort of interaction with the marshmallows that makes it work with the fruit. Not sure if yogurt would do the same. In any case, this is a midwest recipe, and that means it involves either mayo or sour cream.

          I’m from the south. Our stuff always has butter. Every dessert has vanilla flavoring, too.

          I, personally, just dont like sour cream and replace it with tangy, full fat yogurt when baking. Hasn’t done me wrong so far.

            Fair enough. I do typically use plain yogurt in place of sour cream for lots of things. Usually works fine.
