Unlike most other fruit salads, this American Ambrosia Salad doesn't require seasonal fruit. You can use canned fruit and enjoy a luxurious combination of flavors year-round! It features pineapple chunks, tangerines, coconut flakes, maraschino cherries, and what makes it so unique—mini marshmallows! The Ambrosia Salad is dressed with sour cream and whipped cream and refrigerated for a few hours. For a crispy crunch, add toasted pecans and enjoy as a dessert.
