Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

1. Drain the mandarin oranges and crushed pineapple well, pressing out excess juice.

2. Place the drained oranges and pineapple in a large bowl.

3. Drain the maraschino cherries and cut them in half if you like, then add them to the bowl.

4. Add the shredded coconut and miniature marshmallows to the bowl and stir to combine.

5. Pour the milk over the fruit mixture and stir gently to loosen it slightly.

6. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until no streaks remain and the salad is evenly mixed.

7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour so the marshmallows soften and the flavors blend.

8. Stir gently once more before serving cold.
