Steps:
- In a large bowl, toss the fruit and coconut until well blended.
- Refrigerate.

Tips:
- Choose ripe and flavorful fruit. Ambrosia salad is all about the fruit, so it's important to use the best quality fruit you can find. Look for fruit that is ripe, sweet, and juicy.
- Use a variety of fruits. The more variety of fruits you use, the more delicious your ambrosia salad will be. Some popular fruits to use include pineapple, oranges, grapefruit, grapes, and marshmallows.
- Prepare fruit ahead of time. If you're short on time, you can prepare the fruit ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to assemble the salad. This will save you time on the day you're making the salad.
- Make the salad just before serving. Ambrosia salad is best when it's fresh. If you make it too far in advance, the fruit will start to break down and the salad will become watery.
- Serve the salad chilled. Ambrosia salad is a refreshing dish that's perfect for summer gatherings. Serve it chilled for the best flavor.
Conclusion:
Ambrosia salad is a classic dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make, delicious, and refreshing. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect ambrosia salad that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give ambrosia salad a try.
