Ambrosia Salad Recipe

1-Sour Cream Version

Ingredients:

1 can mandarin oranges, drained
1 can pineapple chunks, drained
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup sour cream

2-Fat Free Yogurt Version

Ingredients:

1 can mandarin oranges, drained
1 can fruit cocktail, drained
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup fat-free yogurt

Directions for versions 1 & 2:

Gently mix together all ingredients. The sour cream version can be immediately put into serving bowls as it will be firm enough when made. The yogurt version might be a little runny so you may want to refrigerate it for a couple of hours first.

3-Instant Jello Version

Ingredients:

1 cup dairy style dressing-sour cream, yogurt etc.
1 pkg. orange jello mix
1 can mandarin oranges(drained) or 1 cup fresh orange chunks(drain excess juice)
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup mini marshmallows
Add any other fruit you like

Directions for Jello Version:

Make jello according to directions and cool until partially set. Add dressing and mix with a hand blender or whisk. Add remaining ingredients and gently mix. Cool in refrigerator until ready to serve. This very large salad should be eaten within 2 days of being made as the jello will break down over time and pockets of water will form in the bottom of the bowl.
