Ambrosia Fruit Salad

Ambrosia Fruit Salad can be made with Diplicious Simply Cheesecake Dip Mix or Diplicious Pina Coolatta Dip Mix. Ambrosia Fruit Salad is the perfect fruit salad to serve for Easter. One thing we love here at  Turnips 2 Tangerines is a good, old fashioned fruit salad. This fruit salad is one of our favorites. For a festive touch try adding multi-colored mini marshmallows to this fruit salad in place of the white mini marshmallows.

Southern Classic

Ambrosia is considered a classic southern recipe usually served at Christmas time, but us northerners like a good ‘ol Ambrosia Fruit Salad from time to time too. Originally made with only coconut, orange slices and sugar, Ambrosia is now made with just about anything from bananas to maraschino cherries. No matter how Ambrosia is made it’s delicious, truly a Greek Food of the Gods.
