Ambrosia Salad Delight
Welcome to a bright and vibrant world of flavors with our Ambrosia Salad Delight! This delightful dessert salad is a dreamy blend of juicy fruits, fluffy mini marshmallows, and creamy goodness that will transport you back to childhood picnics and family gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 can 15 ounces of mandarin oranges, drained
- 1 can 20 ounces of crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 cup of miniature marshmallows
- 1 cup of shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 cup of sour cream or yogurt if you prefer
- 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips optional for a decadent twist
Instructions
- Drain the Fruits: Begin by draining the mandarin oranges and crushed pineapple. Make sure to remove excess moisture to keep your salad from becoming too soggy.
- Mix the Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream (or yogurt) with the drained mandarin oranges and crushed pineapple. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the fruits are coated in the creamy mixture.
- Add the Fluff: Fold in the miniature marshmallows and shredded coconut into the fruity concoction. Mix gently so as not to break the marshmallows.
- Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Serve and Enjoy: When you’re ready to serve, give the salad a final stir, and feel free to sprinkle the mini chocolate chips on top for a little extra sweetness!
