Ambrosia Salad is a delightful, fluffy fruit salad that hails from the Southern United States. Traditionally featuring a mix of juicy, tropical fruits like mandarin oranges, pineapple, and maraschino cherries, it’s often combined with mini marshmallows and creamy coconut shavings. Its luscious texture comes from a generous dollop of whipped cream or sour cream, creating a sweet treat perfect for potlucks and celebrations. While it’s undeniably scrumptious, keep in mind it can be high in sugar and calories. However, you can easily customize it with fresh fruits and lighter dressings for a healthier twist. Enjoy this nostalgic dish that’s as fun to eat as it is to make!
