Ambrosia Salad

"Ambrosia salad is a classic Southern side dish made with canned fruits, coconut, mini marshmallows, nuts, and maraschino cherries that's coated in a topping made with homemade whipped cream and sour cream. It takes 15 minutes to prep and an hour of chill time to meld the flavors. Serve it at cookouts, potlucks, Sunday dinners, and holiday meals for a unique salad that tastes like the South. If you grew up in the South, chances are you've had a version of ambrosia at a Sunday dinner or potluck. It's one of those dishes with a little twist in every family, but the essentials are always the same: marshmallows, coconut, and fruit.  This ambrosia salad recipe includes pecans for a little crunch and instead of cool whip, in just 2 minutes you can make homemade whipped cream with a touch of sour cream for a tangy finish. You can use Cool Whip if you like, but this homemade whipped topping is ten times better."
