Step 3: Add the fruit and marshmallows.
Once the Cool Whip is well mixed and the mixture is smooth, carefully add the drained mandarins and mix gently. Make sure the oranges are evenly distributed throughout the salad so that every bite is full of citrus flavor.
Add the mini marshmallows and mix gently. The marshmallows give a fun, chewy texture that goes well with the smooth base.
Step 4: Refrigerate and serve.
Pour the Orange Dream Salad Mix into a bowl or small dessert cups. This presentation is easy to serve and enjoy. Cover the bowl or cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours. Refrigeration is important because it helps the salad set and become creamy.
When the salad is cold, it is ready to eat. Remove it just before serving so it can cool to a comfortable temperature. Enjoy the delicious and energizing flavors of this popular dessert.
