Notes

  • Variations
  • You can make it a day in advance and keep it covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you’re read to serve it.
  • Leftover ambrosia fruit salad will keep for one to two days in the refrigerator. The fruit may start to break down, so it’s best to enjoy it within a day or so of making it.
  • I’ve seen versions with chopped nuts like chopped pecans, almonds, or walnuts.
  • You can use fresh pineapple and other fresh fruit instead of canned – it just takes more work to prep the fruit!
  • To make it like a fluff dessert salad, you can omit the sour cream and fold in a whipped topping like Cool Whip instead.
