If you’re on the fence about trying ambrosia salad for the first time, look no further than my recipe. A staple on Southern tables, this fruit salad is full of coconut, marshmallows, nuts and an assortment of canned fruit. Balanced with sour cream, my ambrosia is cool, not too sweet and a perfect light dessert to serve with your summer spread.
NEW: You can now switch to Cook Mode to keep your screen awake.
Directions
Fold the sour cream and whipped topping together in a large bowl. Add the pineapple, oranges, cherries, marshmallows, coconut, grapes and pecans. Continue to fold until everything is thoroughly mixed. Garnish with the reserved cherries and chill until cold.
