How to Make Banana Waldorf Salad

In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sour cream and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar until smooth.
Peel 3 ripe bananas and cut them into 1-inch chunks.
Add the banana chunks to the bowl with the sour cream mixture.
Stir in 1 medium apple (diced), 1/2 cup canned pineapple chunks (drained), 1 cup seedless red grapes (halved), 1/2 cup walnut halves, and 1/4 cup raisins.
Gently fold everything together until well combined.
Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. (Chilling is recommended but not required)
Optional additions: For extra flavor and texture, consider adding 1/4 cup shredded coconut, 1/2 cup mandarin orange segments, or 1/2 cup diced celery.
