BEST EVER AMBROSIA SALAD

Ambrosia Salad is filled with mandarin oranges, pineapple, maraschino cherries, coconut,  and marshmallows and mixed in a fluffy cool whip!  This is a potluck classic!

HOW DO YOU MAKE AMBROSIA SALAD?

In a large mixing bowl add cool whip and sour cream and mix.  Fold in pineapple, cherries, mandarin oranges, coconut, chopped pecans, and marshmallows until combined.  Cover and chill for at least an hour or overnight.

CAN YOU MAKE AMBROSIA SALAD A DAY AHEAD?

You can make ambrosia salad a day ahead.  It is always best to let fruit salads chill to let the cream settle and fruits to chill.

Properly stored fruit salads will last 3-5 days in the fridge.
