Notes
- Storage: Store ambrosia salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Store ambrosia salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- You can use fresh mandarin oranges and fresh pineapple in place of canned
- You can use 2 drained 15.5-ounce cans of fruit cocktail in place of all of the fruit in this recipe.
- Maraschino cherries will turn your Cool Whip pink. I recommend adding them right before serving to avoid this
- Ambrosia salad can be left out of the refrigerator for up to 2 hours, but I recommend serving it cold because the whipped cream dressing will start to melt after just 30 minutes.
