Tropical Fruit Salad

In honor of the upcoming Memorial Day holiday!

Tropical Fruit Salad

2 cans mandarin oranges, drained
2 cans pineapple chunks with liquid
3 firm bananas, sliced (do not add until ready to serve!)
1 4oz. box instant vanilla pudding
1/2 cup shredded coconut

In large bowl, combine all ingredients. It will still be runny, but as the pudding begins to set, the salad will thicken. Chill overnight. Stir before serving.

For best results, add sliced bananas just before you are ready to serve the salad, so they don't brown too much.
