For an extra touch of elegance, garnish the unmolded salad with fresh pineapple wedges and a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes. Feel free to experiment with different flavors of marshmallows, such as vanilla or strawberry, to customize the salad to your preference. If you don't have a gelatin mold, you can use a decorative bowl instead. Be sure to drain the pineapple very well. Excess liquid will make the salad watery.
