AMBROSIA FRUIT SALAD

Ambrosia Fruit Salad image

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.

FILIPINO SALAD

Filipino Salad image

Filipino salad utilizes unusual ingredients. Home gardeners who grow their own peas, squash, chayote, swamp cabbage, marunguray, katuday, fern shoots, and sweet potato leaves make use of more than one part of the plant.

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (can use reduced fat or fat free)
1 cup sour cream (can use reduced fat or fat free)
1/2 cup lime juice
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, sour cream & lime juice; mix well. Stir in the remaining ingredients (except cherries & nuts); cover & chill at least 3 hours or overnight.
