Ambrosia Salad recipe

Ambrosia Salad

A salad of fruit and marshmallows with a hint of the tropics

by Michele Thompson

A fruit salad with many mouthwatering variations, Ambrosia is essentially juicy sweet fruit and miniature marshmallows folded into a rich and creamy dressing of sour cream, whipped cream or whipped topping, and shredded coconut. This rendition of the classic recipe includes summer’s freshest fruit and colored marshmallows to make it even more appealing to your kids — or the kid in you.

Ingredients:
1 8-ounce container sour cream
1 8-ounce container whipped topping, thawed
1 8-ounce can pineapple tidbits, drained
1 cup finely chopped fresh, ripe but firm peaches
1 cup finely chopped fresh, pitted sweet cherries
2 cups colored miniature marshmallows
1 cup shredded coconut

Directions:
In a large bowl, gently combine sour cream and whipped topping. Add remaining ingredients and fold together until well-combined. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours before serving.

Serves 10
