Simple Fruit Salad

Ingredients:
1 cup mini marshmallows
1 can mixed fruit (fruit cocktail) - drain
1 can pineapple - drain
1 can mandarin oranges
1 banana - sliced
1 cup walnut pieces
1/2 small container of Cool Whip


Easy peasy... drain all the fruits.  Slice banana.  Add all remaining ingredients and stir.  Num!


Note: This is best served as soon as it is made.  This is not something I would not make before hand.  After a day the juices left in the fruit will seep out and bananas will turn brown.
