This is one of those dishes where calling it a “salad” has always been wonderfully optimistic.
There are marshmallows in it.
AMBROSIA FRUIT SALAD
Drain 1 (20 oz) can pineapple chunks, 1 (15 oz) can mandarin oranges and 1 cup maraschino cherries very well. Gently fold them together with 2 cups green grapes, 2 cups mini marshmallows, 1 cup flaked coconut, ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts and 1 cup sour cream. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
Cold oranges and grapes.
Fluffy marshmallows.
Little pieces of coconut and crunchy pecans hiding in that creamy coating.
Some families put this beside the ham.
Other families put it suspiciously close to the desserts.
Both sides have been defending their position for generations.
