Hooray for Fruit Salad!

I'm already onto my summer cravings. I love fruit salad in the summer- this is a variant that I found online (at recipezaar) that's a lot like what I grew up on. Enjoy!

Serves 8

• 1 can fruit cocktail, drained
• 1 can mandarin oranges, drained
• 1/2 cup pineapple tidbits
• 1 cup green grape, halved
• 2 bananas, halved and sliced
• 1 apple, peeled and chopped
• 1/4 cup maraschino cherries, halved
• 1 (16 ounce) bag mini marshmallows (I like the colorful kind)
• 1 container Cool Whip, softened (the regular size)
  
• 2 tablespoons coconut flakes (optional)

Directions

1. Drain all canned fruit into a collander.
2. Mix everything together and chill before serving
