Ambrosia is a creamy, fruit-based dessert salad popular in American cuisine, particularly in the Southern United States. Traditionally served during holidays and gatherings, it typically combines ingredients like mandarin oranges, pineapple chunks, shredded coconut, miniature marshmallows, and whipped cream or sour cream. Variations may include cherries, nuts, or cream cheese for added flavor. While ambrosia contains vitamin C and fiber from the fruit, its nutritional profile is offset by the high sugar content from marshmallows and sweetened cream, making it more of a treat than a health-conscious option. Ambrosia’s appeal lies in its balance of tangy fruits and sweet richness, offering a nostalgic and indulgent experience for special occasions.
