wish me luck... I'm a widowed man who is an absolute neophyte in the kitchen... I've been invited to a large family gathering and I was asked to bring "a salad"... as the ambrosia salad is a personal favourite and ideal for a summer BBQ, I came here and found your recipe... it was very well explained and I followed your directions carefully... the end result is visually identical to yours (like you, I opted for strawberries only) but the real test will be with the gang tomorrow afternoon... I'll let you know how it goes... in the meantime, thank you SO much for a recipe that has given this old guy some confidence in a VERY new environment... cheers!🙂

[@jimblack8027]

Well, thanks to you dear lady, I'm a hero... the salad went over extremely well and was sufficient for the many of those attendees who opted to put it on their plate... there were probably 50 people at our gathering but obviously only some of them chose my salad... I got lots of compliments so now I've decided to make another bowl for card night at Grandma's on Wednesday... :)

Been the " kitchen commander at my house for two months after our cook " retired" due to illness. I learned how to cook simple dishes at Culinary Collage at University of KZbin!😅

[@CatherineLacroix311]

Next time, maybe try Watergate salad. Mix together 1 small box of pistachio pudding, 1 can of crushed pineapple with the juice, & 1 regular container of Kool whip topping. Top with nuts if that's your thing & chill overnight. ¡Et vóila! From one widow to another - it's my absolute favorite! 💕

[@AndorMolnar-sz9zv]

Dude, it's so easy and so delicious! The good thing about KZbin is that we don't have to reinvent the wheel. Hope you enjoy it. ❤❤❤

Hi there, Stay at Home Chef - I’m sure you get a lot of people commenting on your recipes and thanking you but I’d just like to take this time to express my gratitude for your *amazing* creme brûlée video you put out a while back. I made it, and seeing the smile on my sweet-tooth family’s faces as they indulged their first spoonful was absolutely priceless. Thank you so much!!

[@7thheaven601]

My abuela used to make this. It's called fruit salad. We put it in the freezer and we just use fruit cocktail, jar of cherries, and sliced apples with sour cream. So good.

My favorite salad

[@williamnesh223]

Thank you I have been donated so much fruit with bananas, oranges, pineapples, and I'm like what to do with all this fruit so it don't sit to rot and good fruit go to waste. I love all these ingredients. I can't wait to make this my 18 and 20 year old don't like bananas or coconuts but I do so I'm excited to make something for us all but my grandbaby is going to definitely get used to a new flavor and I cant wait to dive in to this deliciousness. God bless. I see this is the store whipped cream with jello in the store but the homemade I would say is the most flavorful to enjoy hands down.

This is one of my favorites to make in the Summer…

[@time4grace8]

+crushed nuts/peanuts+ grapefruit ripe small (do not juice, just the fruit itself), not sure if lemon has the same taste, but maybe "yes". When I first tasted it, it was too heavenly! I do not like peanuts and grapefruit until I tasted this ambrosia.

[@clairelivefreeordie2551]

instead of cream I use either Greek plain yogurt or sour creme...both come out really tasty & just a tiny bot healthier 😋

[@bogus_not_me]

The best of all I've seen on here. Cut the cherries into quarters as the whole cherries are a bit too much sweet in a bite. Possibly add nuts if desired - I'd recommend chopped walnuts as they add add a nice crunch.

[@ophthodoc]

I thought I was the only fan of ambrosia salad - OMG I’m in heaven. And it’s funny - this dish is much greater than the sum of its parts. I would personally soften some cream cheese to add to the cream or (not embarassed to say) I’d even use cool whip in a pinch. You could even cut some of the sweetness by using some sour cream in the mix. Seems wrong not to have the cherries but I have to say as a kid whenever I had this dish, the cherries were rare in the dish and you were lucky to get one or two halves in your serving! So I’d guess maybe a half cup of cherries were used in the whole recipe not an entire jar.

[@cathymarquez3293]

👍❤❤❤❤❤Yum😋

[@leticiadelacruz9150]

No judging I always cool Whip. But this Christmas. I know what I’ll be doing!! Looks delicious. Wish me luck!!

[@ophthodoc]

Well to her point, it would eventually collapse if made with cream. Not so with cool whip. And honey, ain’t no shame in cool whip. It’s one of my life’s guilty pleasures🎉🎉

[@MichaelGarcia-qs1yj]

So I can use cool whip I was wondering if I could

[@mariapatricianchavez5159]

Yeah:)

[@starflowermarie86]

I would have used the straeberries too 🍓 I can't do cherries not sure why.

Can I just use cool whip or does it have to be made like this

I would use the cherries and plain marshmallows.

Can you use cool whip?

[@rayhinckley14]

I grew up in south Carolina 24 now in every bbq restaurant I've been in that has this they only use pineapple Cherry's marshmallows pecans and the cream mix I don't know about coconut but there was never oranges in it I just found out what this dish is called and I was so confused because of the oranges but I guess you can make it and add any fruit you want I'm gonna add pineapple Cherry's pecans coconut and fruit flav marshmallows with cool whip an vanilla yogurt in mine with 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract the expensive kind it's gonna be so good
