Five Cup Fruit Salad

Traditionally a summer side-dish, this salad is a year-round favorite at my house. This mix of the tangy sour cream, sweet marshmallows, and citrusy oranges has a little something for everyone. Try it as a side dish when serving burgers on the grill or baking salmon in the oven. Or – save it as a sweet and fruity dessert!!
