This super-easy salad is very sweet, but canned fruit makes it quick!

Ingredients

  • 1 8 oz. container frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 2 1/2 C. shredded coconut
  • 1/2 C. chopped walnuts
  • 1 8 oz. can fruit cocktail, drained
  • 1 8 oz. can pineapple chunks, drained
  • 1 11 oz. can mandarin oranges, drained
  • 3 C. miniature marshmallows
  • 1 10 oz. jar maraschino cherries, drained (optional)
  • 1 tsp. ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the whipped topping, coconut, chopped nuts, fruit cocktail, pineapple, mandarin oranges, marshmallows, cherries, nutmeg and cinnamon. Mix together well and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes.

Note: If you like maraschino cherries you can use them, if not remember there are maraschino cherries in your fruit cocktail. Also, a little juice from the maraschino cherries will color your fruit salad a festive red.

  • Hubby doesnt like coconut, so I use the sour cream mixed with about a cup of confectioners sugar and omit the coconut. He loves it!

  • I make my Ambrosia just like this EXCEPT--I add fresh stawberries and grapes and instead of whipped topping I use SOUR CREAM! I know it sounds crazy but it is awesome. Everyone loves it. Try it--you will too!!
