Pineapple, Orange, Lemon Fluff Salad

Don't forget to thaw the Cool Whip in advance - best if thawed in refrigerator!

1 20-oz can crushed pineapple - DO NOT DRAIN

1 15-oz can mandarin oranges - DRAINED

1 small box (3.4 oz) lemon instant pudding mix, dry

2 cups mini marshmallows

1 8-oz Cool Whip 

Place un-drained crushed pineapple in a large mixing bowl.

Add dry lemon instant pudding to pineapple and mix well.

Add drained mandarin oranges, and fold in lightly until oranges are distributed, trying not to break the oranges up too much.

Add marshmallows and fold into other ingredients.

Add 8 oz of thawed Cool Whip and fold together until evenly mixed.

Refrigerate at least an hour or two before serving.
