AMBROSIA-MARSHMALLOW FRUIT SALAD

This Ambrosia salad is bursting with fruit, marshmallows and fluffy cream. It is a marshmallow fruit salad that comes together in minutes and can be served as a side or dessert.
I remember the first time I had ambrosia fruit salad. It was served as a side dish with Thanksgiving dinner and I couldn’t believe this fluffy, marshmallowy bowl of heaven was part of the main meal.

It is a tradition in our family and is served with Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner as a side dish, but I usually steal an extra bowl for dessert and I’ve been known to eat it for breakfast the next morning too.Ambrosia salad is a mixed fruit salad with marshmallows and some sort of cream.

It’s commonly made with a combination of sour cream and whipped topping such as Cool Whip, but can also contain yogurt or mayonnaise.

Sour cream adds a nice contrast of flavor between the sweet fruit and marshmallows.

Ambrosia almost always contains pineapple and oranges, but you can add almost any fruit you like. I always add a can of fruit cocktail and a handful of fresh grapes, but you could add chopped apple, pears, or even banana.

Adding nuts is optional, but adds a bit of crunch and texture.

Ingredients :

1 bags mini marshmallows

1/2 cup sour cream

8 oz. cool whip

1 lb. can fruit cocktail

1 (2 lb.) canned mandarin oranges

Extra maraschino cherries; halved, to liking.

1/2 cup walnuts

Instructions
