Fruit Salad - Ambrosia Style image

My Mother made this salad for every Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinners. I remember looking forward to this the most, as a kid, as I loved the marshmallows and the fruit. My Mom made a big bowl of this and added shredded coconut to half of it and left the other without for those of us non-coconut lovers. This is so quick and easy yet so tasty and refreshing, especially with a big heavy holiday meal. I also found out that this is a common Hawaiian Luau side dish. Time does not include chilling time.

Time 10m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (8 ounce) cans mandarin oranges, drained
1 (16 ounce) can pineapple tidbits, drained
3 bananas, sliced
1 (12 ounce) bag miniature marshmallows
16 ounces sour cream, container
1 (6 ounce) can maraschino cherries, sliced and drained (optional)
shredded coconut (optional)

Steps:

  • Drain all cans of fruit.
  • In a large bowl add drained fruit, marshmallows, sour cream and coconut if using. Mix well to combine.
  • Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, overnight if possible. This allows the juices to blend with the marshmallows and sour cream.
  • One hour before serving, slice bananas and add to rest of the fruit, stir to combine.
  • If it seems to dry add a little more sour cream.
  • Enjoy!
