Ambrosia is a southern classic on the holiday table and there are literally hundreds of variations on the basic idea of ambrosia. This recipe is my Aunt Vel's and it is a fairly straightforward ambrosia, which I like because it's not too sweet or overly complicated. It is great with baked ham or roasted turkey. My husband is our fruit lover in the family and he really loves all ambrosia and fruit salads. This ambrosia is one of his favorites. This is what you will need for this:
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup pineapple tidbits, drained
1 cup mandarin oranges, drained
1 cup nuts, chopped (pecans or walnuts)
1 cup sour cream
2 cups miniature marshmallows
2 Tbs. powdered sugar
maraschino cherries for garnish (optional)
Mix all of the ingredients together until combined, chill and serve. So simple and so good! If you are looking for a little more variation in an ambrosia type salad, you might also want to check out Pina Colada Ambrosia or Banana Split Salad!
Southern Ambrosia!
