Ambrosia Salad
Ambrosia Salad is a classic summertime dessert that's light, refreshing, and incredibly easy to make.
Ingredients
1½ cups Cool Whip½ cup whipped cream cheese
3 cups mini marshmallows
1 (15-ounce) can mandarin orange segments
1 cup chopped pineapple
¾ cup maraschino cherries
Directions
In a large bowl, mix the Cool Whip and whipped cream cheese until smooth. Drain
the canned fruit thoroughly to prevent the salad from becoming watery. Gently fold in the marshmallows, mandarin oranges,
pineapple, and maraschino cherries. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
Just before serving, I like to add extra fresh fruit if I have it on hand. Sliced bananas, strawberries, and green grapes are all delicious additions and add even more color and flavor.
There are many variations of Ambrosia Salad. The classic version typically includes shredded coconut, so feel free to stir in about 1 cup if you enjoy it.
