What ingredients are in this Ambrosia salad? A lot of delicious things - that's what! Mandarin oranges, pineapple, coconut, cherries, and marshmallows - wow!
Some people enjoy them with nuts. Not everyone does. I don't have a preference. Sometimes, when I can, I even roast the nuts to give extra delicious flavor to this simple ambrosia salad. I used small white marshmallows in this salad, but I also like to use marshmallows with different fruit flavors and colors. Those are always very enjoyable and I love the brightness they bring. It's completely your choice!
This salad has many ingredients, and even though I don't add any sugar, the fruit brings a lot of sweetness to it. I have a special ingredient for my recipe - sour cream! With all the sweetness, the sour cream adds a creamy tang that balances it out. Greek yogurt would also be a great option. It really helps to prevent this fruit salad from being too sweet.
Each small taste is pure happiness. It's pure magic!
If you want to impress your guests or your family on a regular weeknight, try making this Ambrosia Salad. I believe you will find it to be excellent.
