If you make this ambrosia salad as a dessert just scoop it into a nice dessert bowls to serve with a topping of whipped cream.

Mandarin oranges is one of the ingredient's in this salad...you can use fresh or canned whatever is available or affordable for you. They both taste lovely and will work.

This is so tasty and if you wish try toasting some coconut for a topping for this salad and you can do seasonal as well with a bottle of cherries in the recipe.

Use a fancy bowl to serve your ambrosia salad in, it looks so nice. This is a tropical salad and one you will make often.

Not a lot of steps to this ambrosia salad, just toss all five cups of ingredient's into a bowl and toss.

Toasted coconut - 2 tbsp

Instructions

In a glass bowl add unsweetened coconut, mandarin oranges cut in half.

Pineapple tidbits no juice. Mini marshmallows white or coloured.

Toss in your sour cream or plain yogurt and continue folding it together.

After flatten in bowl and sprinkle some toasted unsweetened coconut over the top and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Bonita Tips:

Use sweetened or unsweetened coconut, also use fresh or canned mandarin oranges.

Using coloured mini marshmallows gives the salad a nice look, same taste.

Using sour cream, yogurt or whipped cream will be a personal choice, same taste.

To toast coconut, just put the frying pan on the stovetop and add the coconut to the pan. Toss it around a little in the pan until it turns a nice golden brown. Remove from heat let cool before adding it to the ambrosia salad.

I’m always looking for a tasty and very affordable salad, also one we can serve with our traditional cold plates. Even though this is not our traditional salad it’s one we adopted over the years to serve with them.
