Fun Fruit Salad

This tangy fruit salad is quick to make.   The fruits are almost always in season, so you can make this salad anytime of year.   

1 or 2 bananas depending on size
1 can pineapple tidbits
1 cup sliced strawberries
1 6 ounce container of vanilla yogurt
1/2 cup coconut
1 can Mandarin oranges, drained

It is best if you chill the pineapple and Mandarin oranges in the fridge before making the salad.
Slice the bananas in a strainer.  Pour the can of pineapple over the bananas to drain the pineapple. (The citric acid in the pineapple juice will help prevent the bananas from going brown as fast.)  Save the juice and add to orange juice or a smoothie.  When the pineapple is well drained, move to a bowl and add remaining ingredients.  Stir gently to mix.
