This is a great summer or special occasion fruit salad. I don't like the marshmallows or cream in fruit salad so this one rocks for me and reminds me of my momma. Sprinkle a little sugar on top if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh fruit. Fresh fruit will give your ambrosia a brighter flavor and more vibrant color. If you can't find fresh fruit, you can use frozen or canned fruit, but be sure to drain it well before adding it to the salad.
  • Don't overmix the salad. Ambrosia is a delicate salad, so it's important to mix it gently. Overmixing will make the fruit mushy.
  • Chill the salad before serving. Ambrosia is best served chilled. This will help the flavors to meld and the salad will be more refreshing.
  • Garnish the salad with whipped cream or chopped nuts. This will add a touch of elegance and make the salad even more delicious.

Conclusion:

Ambrosia is a classic Southern dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make, delicious, and always a crowd-pleaser. With its sweet and tangy flavor, ambrosia is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
