Pineapple, bananas and marshmallows are folded into orange Jell-O in this refreshing salad. Frosted with a creamy topping, pecans and coconut, this yummy dish is a real crowd-pleaser. I have been making it for years. -Anna Jean Key, Muskogee, Oklahoma

Made this recipe and took it to school for a birthday luncheon for the Principal. It was delicious and had many requests for the recipe.

Delicious! BUT, I mix all(except topping) ingreds. in a DEEP bowl; let set up 1-2 hrs., THEN pour into the 13x9 dish. Dish is VERY full and usually spills!
