Notes
Begin with a very large bowl that can accommodate all the ingredients.
Make sure to drain the mandarin oranges thoroughly! If not properly drained, the salad could become too watery.
Fold the ingredients gently to maintain the salad’s fluffy texture.
Allow the salad to chill for at least three hours, or even overnight, before serving. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap for up to 4 days. The ingredients may begin to separate after two days, so just give it a quick stir before enjoying.
