Famous Fruit Salad is famous for both being a delicious dessert and for not actually having that much fruit in it. To be fair, there are tropically tangy pineapple bits and sweet mandarin oranges mixed in, but the real beauty of Famous Fruit Salad is the fluffy, creamy, and tangy clouds of whipped topping and the little bursts of chewy sweetness from marshmallows. A little crunchy, sweetened coconut brings the whole thing together. The best version of this fruit salad, it turns out, is the one in which fruit plays only a minor role!
