Ambrosia Salad

Yum
Here is  sweet and delicious salad that can be eaten with a meal or as a dessert.  Ambrosia Salad is a traditional Southern United States dish that was very popular in the 1970s. The name is most likely derived from Greek mythology where it was known as the "food of the Greek gods". There are many variations of this dish, but it is basically a fruit salad with coconut and cream.  It's a light and delicious salad perfect for any potluck, barbeque or buffet. 



 Ingredients:
1 (11oz) can drained crushed pineapple
1 (15oz) can drained mandarin oranges
1 cup sour cream
1 cup mini marshmallows
1 cup shredded sweet coconut
1/4 cup chopped maraschino cherries (optional)

Directions: 
Mix all ingredients together and chill in fridge for 1-2 hours.  Serve as a side or dessert.

    This is so funny! You were making Watergate Salad and I was thinking about making Ambrosia Salad. Our minds must be moving along the same track right now. Are you going to use this for your 70's party? I was raised in the South and I can tell you that Ambrosia Salad was a classic 'must have' every Christmas. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe here.

    This is such a classic, and I love the your recipe doesn't have mayo (which I hate) in it. Sour cream is a great substitution.

    I never add this much coconut, and I add more sour cream and more marshmallows. Always a delicious side dish to any summer meal.
