FILIPINO AMBROSIA FRUIT SALAD WITH MACAPUNO
This is a fruit salad my mom used to make. Macapuno is a young coconut. The Macapuno Strings and Sweet Coconut Gel can be found in Asian markets and are usually in a glass jar. It's great for potlucks and can be easily frozen. Variations include adding cheddar cheese, nuts such as macadamia or cashews, chopped fresh apples or other fruits such as mandarin oranges, bananas, etc.

AMBROSIA FRUIT SALAD
This is a great fruit salad that doesn't need in season fruit! It is pretty and I have served it for brunches. If you use a little of the maraschino juice, it is a pink color. I got this recipe online when I was searching for an easy and different fruit salad.

Tips:
- Use fresh fruits. Fresh fruits are naturally sweet and juicy, making them the perfect addition to ambrosia salad. If you can't find fresh fruits, you can use frozen or canned fruits, but they won't be as flavorful.
- Choose a variety of fruits. The more variety of fruits you use, the more colorful and flavorful your salad will be. Some popular fruits to use in ambrosia salad include pineapple, mandarin oranges, grapes, cherries, and strawberries.
- Add other ingredients to your salad. In addition to fruits, you can also add other ingredients to your ambrosia salad, such as marshmallows, nuts, and whipped cream. These ingredients will add extra sweetness, texture, and flavor to your salad.
- Make your salad ahead of time. Ambrosia salad is a great make-ahead dish. It can be made up to 24 hours in advance, which makes it perfect for potlucks and other gatherings.
- Serve your salad chilled. Ambrosia salad is best served chilled. This will help to keep the fruits and other ingredients fresh and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Ambrosia salad is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give ambrosia salad a try!
