Ambrosia Salad
Ambrosia Salad is a creamy fruit salad packed with tropical flavors. This classic recipe is filled with mandarin oranges, pineapples, cherries, and marshmallows.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temp
- 8 ounces whipped topping
- 15 ounces mandarin oranges drained
- 20 ounces crushed pineapple drained
- 12 ounces maraschino cherries, drained and cut in half (plus more for garnish)
- 1 cup marshmallows
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- chopped walnuts, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, cream the cream cheese on low until smooth.
- Add the whipped topping, a third at a time, mixing on low speed.
- Stir in oranges, pineapple, cherries, coconut, and marshmallows.
- Spoon into serving bowl and garnish with chopped walnuts and cherries if desired.
Notes
- Make sure your cream cheese is room temperature so that you don't end up with any lumps in your cream mixture.
- Stir all of the ingredients together carefully as you don't want to break apart the fruit pieces.
- If you have the time, allow this salad to chill for several hours in the fridge. This will allow the flavors to mingle together in your salad.
