Ambrosia salad is something I have loved for a long time. It was my Aunt Judie who first showed it to me a long time ago. On his favorites list. The problem is that if you want to get it at the supermarket, the prices are a bit exorbitant. For example, $5 for a small container. For about $4 I can make this whole salad. That’s all. (You can do it too now!)
By the way, what exactly is this Ambrosia salad made from? A plethora of delicious things, that’s what! Oh my God! Crushed pineapple, maraschino cherries, coconut and tangerines!
Some people like theirs with almonds. Still others don’t. Regardless, I’m not passing judgment. If I’m feeling extra indulgent, I’ll roast the walnuts before adding them to this simple ambrosia salad. It makes all the difference in the world. In this salad, I opted for small white marshmallows, even if my favorites are those with multicolored fruits. I love the dynamism they provide and they are always a lot of fun. What if you decided?
Although I don’t specifically add sugar to this salad, the richness of the fruit makes up for it. There’s a lot of flavor here. Let me tell you about a little element I have for my recipe: sour cream! The sour cream provides a subtle, creamy acidity that balances out all that sugar. This would also be absolutely perfect with Greek yogurt. To keep this ambrosia salad from being too sweet, it works wonders.
Treat yourself to every bite for absolute joy. How enchanting!
I think you’ll agree that this ambrosia salad is the BEST if you try it on a Tuesday night (because it’s so quick) and want to “wow” your friends or family.
