Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

  • 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks, in 100% pineapple juice

Instructions
 

  • Place a strainer over a large bowl and add mandarin oranges, fruit cocktail and pineapple chunks to the strainer.  Let this sit until all the juice drains (I let it drain for about 20-30 minutes).

  • Add whipped topping to the bowl, mixing only until combined.
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve.
