In a large bowl, gently combine the drained mandarin oranges and pineapple chunks.
Add the Cool Whip to the fruit, folding it in gently with a spatula until everything is evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Give the salad a gentle toss before serving to reincorporate any separated juices.
Variations & Tips
For a more decadent touch, try adding shredded coconut or mini marshmallows to the mix. To incorporate some crunch, toss in a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans. For a healthier version, substitute Greek yogurt for Cool Whip, adding a bit of honey to sweeten it up if needed. If you're feeling adventurous, add sliced bananas or fresh berries just before serving for extra freshness.
