Ambrosia salad is a retro southern recipe, most people will remember their aunts and grandmas bringing to potlucks. Some folks call this a salad, while others think of it as a dessert, all I know is that it's fresh, light, and delicious!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe word 'ambrosia' means delicious or fragrant, which is perfectly fitting for this recipe. The ingredients to this dish may change depending on who makes it, but it is always a delicious and fragrant dish.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy version of this classic recipe is made with pineapple, cherries, oranges, coconut, pecans and grapes all wrapped up in fresh whipped cream and marshmallows, and it is the fruit salad of my dreams!
