- 8 ounces whipped topping thawed
- ½ cup sour cream
- 3 cups miniature marshmallows white or colored
- 1 ½ cups pineapple tidbits drained very well
- 11 ounces mandarin oranges drained very well
- 1 cup red or green grapes
- 1 cup maraschino cherries drained very well
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- ¾ cup pecans lightly chopped or diced

- Serve immediately or cover and serve chilled. May be made the night before an event, covered, refrigerated, and served the next day.
Notes
Make sure to drain the pineapple, mandarin oranges, and maraschino cherries very well or they will water down the salad and make it soupy. Extra ambrosia salad will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days, noting it may turn more soupy as time passes as the natural juices in the fruit come out.
