- 1 (20-ounce) can pineapple tidbits in juice drained

Instructions
- In a large bowl, fold together whipped topping and sour cream. Stir in the oranges, pineapple, cherries, marshmallows, and coconut.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until ready to serve. Salad can be made a day in advance (cherries may bleed some).
- Garnish with additional cherries and coconut, if desired.
Notes
- Drain the fruit. Drain the mandarin oranges, pineapple, and cherries well. This will keep the ambrosia salad fluffy and creamy instead of watery and soggy.
- Fold in the fruits very gently so they don't get smashed.
- Use colorful, fruity marshmallows. The mini fruit-flavored marshmallows add a hint of pastel color to the ambrosia salad.
