Directions:
Preparing Oranges:
Start by peeling off the skin of the oranges and remove seeds if any. Slice them into thin rounds and then cut each round into quarters. Alternatively, peel oranges and break them apart into segments.
Making the Dressing Mix:
In a large mixing bowl, get ready the vanilla pudding mix following what is written on its package. This normally involves whisking it with cold milk until it becomes smooth.
Incorporating Whipped Topping:
Once you have a smooth pudding mix, gently fold in the whipped topping until everything is combined well together. You must take care to not overly deflate that whipped topping; instead your dressing should stay light plus fluffy.
Mix Together:
Toss in the sliced oranges and mini marshmallows in the bowl with the dressing. You can also add some shredded coconut or chopped nuts to enhance its texture and taste if you so wish.
Mix Thoroughly:
Until each orange slice is covered with a layer of dressing, gently stir all ingredients together. Be careful not to let too much of the orange pieces break apart.
Chill and Serve:
Place a lid on serve ware or cover the bowl completely with plastic wrap. For at least one hour, put it into a refrigerator before serving so that it cools down and combines well.
Garnish (Optional):
For attractive appearance and flavor, extra sprinkling of shredded coconut as well as some chopped nuts could be used on top of Orange Dreamsicle Salad while bringing it to table.
Enjoy!
The chilled Orange Dreamsicle Salad may be served as either refreshing dessert or flavorful side dish. It is ideal for summer time occasions like barbecues or parties where you feel like having something sweet yet tangy.
