Tips for the Best Orange and Pineapple Salad

• Drain the Fruit Well: Excess liquid can make the salad runny, so ensure your pineapple and mandarin oranges are well-drained before adding them.
• Let it Chill: While you can eat it immediately, letting it chill for a bit enhances the flavors and texture.
• Use Greek Yogurt: For a slightly tangier flavor and a boost of protein, try substituting vanilla yogurt with Greek yogurt.
• Make It Ahead: This salad can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
