For a taste of summer sunshine, I whip up this quick, refreshing salad. It’s pretty enough to double as a dessert. Peach yogurt and coconut really dress up the canned fruit cocktail. —Marian Bauerle, Marana, Arizona

Test Kitchen Tip: Leftover mini marshmallows can be added to homemade tail mix or a bowl of cereal, or used as a topping for a baked sweet potato along with butter and cinnamon.
