🍒 Optional Add-Ins

Shredded coconut

Mandarin orange segments (well drained)
Chopped apples
A pinch of cinnamon
💡 Tips
Be sure to drain canned fruit well to keep the salad light and fluffy.
If using pretzels for crunch, add them just before serving so they stay crisp.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for 2–3 days, though the crunchy topping may soften.
