AFTER RAISING four sons, it wasn't easy to scale down my cooking habits, so I ventured into some new recipes that didn't take a lot of time to prepare. This dessert has become a favorite for many of our meals. Fruit is a refreshing finale! -Eleanor Lock, Escondido, California

This ambrosia salad is a great way to use up leftover fruit. I always have a bowl of it in my fridge during the summer.

I'm allergic to coconut, so I substituted chopped pecans in this recipe. It was still delicious!

This ambrosia salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I love that this recipe uses Cool Whip instead of sour cream. It makes the salad lighter and fluffier.
