Classic Ambrosia Salad
This easy ambrosia salad recipe is cool, creamy, sweet, and refreshing! It's a classic American fruit salad that's made all in one bowl in just 15 minutes.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces whipped topping (I used Cool Whip) thawed until it's easily spreadable
- 1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges drained
- 1 (8 ounce) can pineapple tidbits drained
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup maraschino cherries drained
Instructions
- Add the sour cream and vanilla extract to a large bowl and combine until smooth. Gently stir in the Cool Whip.
- Fold in the remaining ingredients (I used a spatula). You can eat it right away, but I recommend covering the bowl and chilling it for a few hours first to help the flavors meld.
Notes
- Container sizes of the canned fruit and cherries can vary, so you don't have to be exact. Feel free to add more/less of any ingredient than suggested.
