FRUIT SALAD - AMBROSIA STYLE



Fruit Salad - Ambrosia Style image

My Mother made this salad for every Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinners. I remember looking forward to this the most, as a kid, as I loved the marshmallows and the fruit. My Mom made a big bowl of this and added shredded coconut to half of it and left the other without for those of us non-coconut lovers. This is so quick and easy yet so tasty and refreshing, especially with a big heavy holiday meal. I also found out that this is a common Hawaiian Luau side dish. Time does not include chilling time.

AMBROSIA FRUIT SALAD

This is a great fruit salad that doesn't need in season fruit! It is pretty and I have served it for brunches. If you use a little of the maraschino juice, it is a pink color. I got this recipe online when I was searching for an easy and different fruit salad.
