Ambrosia Salad

Ambrosia Salad is a colorful fruit salad combining mandarin oranges, pineapple, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, and bananas mixed with shredded coconut, mini marshmallows, and whipped light topping. Chilling allows the flavors and textures to meld, while topping with chopped walnuts adds crunch before serving. This mixture creates a sweet, creamy fruit salad often served as a side dish or dessert.

Description

This Ambrosia Salad blends a variety of fresh fruits including mandarin oranges, diced pineapple, blueberries, blackberries, sliced strawberries, and sliced bananas to create a vibrant, visually appealing mix. Sweetened shredded coconut and mini marshmallows are folded in along with a light whipped topping such as Tru Whip Skinny or Coco Whip Light, bringing creaminess to the salad.

After combining all ingredients, chilling for two hours allows the fruits to soften slightly and the flavors to combine. Before serving, chopped walnuts are sprinkled on top to add texture and a nutty contrast to the soft fruit and creamy dressing. This salad delivers a balance of sweet, tart, and creamy elements with varied textures from fresh fruit to marshmallows and nuts.

Ambrosia Salad is often served chilled as a refreshing dessert or side dish, particularly in warmer months. The inclusion of marshmallows and coconut make it distinctive from a simple fruit salad.
