With the holidays approaching soon this would make a perfect dessert to serve.
Ambrosia Salad
10.5 oz. bag mini marshmallows
8 oz. container light sour cream
15 oz. can fruit cocktail
15 oz. can peach halves
Gently toss all the ingredients together and cover salad and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
Here are some suggestions that you may like to add or change to this recipe:
flaked coconut
seedless grapes
slivered almonds
mandarin oranges
pineapple chunks
This is a recipe that grown ups and children will love and they can even help you make this.

For a moment I thought you were going to use some tinned Ambrosia rice or custard Julie :-) I am going to have a go at this, it certainly looks really yummy xx
ReplyDeleteHi Chel, nice surprise, right? I hope you enjoy it.

Julie! You have solved my problem with just a few ingredients! I can't swallow mayo or miracle whip with ambrosia!!!! There is non on your recipe! Yeayyyy!!!a must make this Thanksgiving, my family loves it! Thank you so much for sharing at the Fluster Buster party, Lizy your party co host!
ReplyDeleteHi Lizy, I don't like mayo or miracle whip either and mayo does not agree me. This should do the trick and it really does taste good. Enjoy.

Hi Julie,
ReplyDeleteYes! This does bring back memories of my childhood, too! A Hungarian friend's mother used to make it for us when we visited her cottage in the summer, very cool and sweet! Loved the syrup from the peaches!
Have a sweet week, yourself!

This is my favorite except that I also add any flavor jello, pineapples, pecans, and cool whip. You should try it that way. Glorious! I found you thru the social hop and am now following by Google, Bloglovin, and GFC. Hope you can return the favor. BTW, great name!
