Steps:
- Strain your pineapple and orange segments to get rid of extra juice. (I sometimes press on top of friut lightly to help this). You want your fruit as drained as possible, runny ambrosia is yucky :) add the cherries.
- Then sprinkle about 2/3 of the vanilla pudding over your fuit, this adds flavor and also will help firm up the ambrosia.
- Next fold in the cool whip and the sour cream. Add the coconut, you can use more or less depending on how much you like coconut.
- Mix all together.
- Now I refrigerate overnight and then about 4 or 5 hours before you are ready to serve (in the morning is good)I add the marshmallows. This keeps them from getting too mushy. You can of course add them at the same time as the coconut. It's just a matter of preference.

Tips:
- Choose fresh ingredients: The key to a delicious ambrosia salad is using fresh, high-quality ingredients. This means using ripe fruit, fresh coconut, and creamy yogurt.
- Use a variety of fruits: Ambrosia salad is traditionally made with pineapple, mandarin oranges, and coconut, but you can use any combination of fruits you like. Some popular variations include adding grapes, berries, or tropical fruits like mango or papaya.
- Don't overmix the salad: Ambrosia salad is best when the fruits are still slightly firm. If you overmix the salad, the fruits will become mushy. Toss everything gently until well combined.
- Chill the salad before serving: Ambrosia salad is a refreshing summer dish, and it's best served chilled. Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving, or up to overnight.
- Garnish the salad with whipped cream or coconut flakes: A dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of coconut flakes adds a finishing touch to ambrosia salad. This is a great way to impress your guests.
Conclusion:
Ambrosia salad is a classic summer dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its sweet and refreshing flavor, it's the perfect dessert for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make dessert, give ambrosia salad a try. You won't be disappointed.
