Notes: Make sure mandarin oranges and pineapple are well drained. After pouring juices from cans, place fruits in separate airtight containers, lined with double thickness paper towels and refrigerate overnight. Also, you may choose to use colored marshmallows for a more festive look. You can set aside a few orange slices and marshmallows to garnish the top of the salad.
