🍊 Ambrosia Salad Recipe

📝 Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)

  • 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

  • 1 cup mini marshmallows

  • 1 cup canned mandarin oranges, drained

  • 1 cup canned pineapple tidbits, drained

  • ¾ cup sweetened shredded coconut

  • ½ cup maraschino cherries, halved and drained

  • ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

  • 1 banana, sliced (optional — add just before serving)

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine sour cream and whipped topping until smooth.

  2. Fold in the marshmallows, coconut, and fruit (mandarin oranges, pineapple, cherries).

  3. Stir in nuts, if using.

  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to let the flavors meld.

  5. (Optional) Add banana slices just before serving to prevent browning.

🌸 Tips:

  • For a tangy twist, add a splash of orange or pineapple juice.

  • To make it gluten-free, ensure your whipped topping and marshmallows are certified GF.

  • Want it sweeter? Add a spoonful of honey or condensed milk.
