Tropical Paradise: Embracing The Lusciousness Of Ambrosia Salad Stock Image

Ambrosia is an American fruit salad. Though it's considered somewhat vintage today, ambrosia salad is still a hugely popular side dish in much of the country. There's not a set recipe for ambrosia, but it generally consists of canned or fresh fruits (like Mandarin oranges, cherries, and pineapples), mixed shredded coconut and marshmallows. There's usually a thick binding agent (like mayonnaise, cream cheese, or sour cream) to hold the ingredients together.
