Ambrosia -- As Dessert or Salad

1 c. sour cream
1 c. pineapple tidbits
1 small can mandarin oranges
1 c. mini marshmallows
flaked coconut
maraschino cherries

You could also add 1/2 c. Cool Whip when adding the sour cream if you want an even richer flavour.

DRAIN the pineapple and mandarin oranges.
  • In a large bowl, combine all ingredients.
  • STIR until fruit and marshmallows are coated with sour cream.
  • COVER and REFRIGERATE for at least 2 hours prior to serving, to allow flavours to blend. Tastes even better if made the night before!
The coconut and maraschino cherries can either be blended in OR used as a garnish.

My family have always loved this, either as a tasty but light dessert, or served as a fruit salad.
