Blueberry Banana Salad

This lovely recipe comes from our local newspaper. The original recipe called for sour cream which seemed a little strong with the fruit, so when I made the recipe again the next evening I used vanilla yogurt instead. The yogurt has the wonderful creaminess of sour cream but isn't as tart, so it works great as a fruit salad dressing. We loved the addition of fresh blueberries to the traditional bananas and mandarin oranges that are so familiar in fruit salads. Do prepare the salad in advance for the best flavor. Blessings...

Recipe:

2 cups sliced, firm bananas (about 2 bananas)
1-1/2 cups fresh blueberries
1 can (11 oz.) mandarin oranges, drained (1 cup)
1/2 cup miniature marshmallows
2 tbsp. flaked coconut
1/2 cup vanilla or French vanilla yogurt

Combine bananas, blueberries, oranges, marshmallows and coconut in a serving bowl. Gently stir in yogurt.
Refrigerate for two hours before serving to blend flavors.

Yield: 4-6 servings
