Chef's Tips & Variations
-
Drain the Fruit Thoroughly: This is the most important step! If the fruit is wet, it will water down the creamy dressing and make the salad runny. Let it drain in a colander for 10-15 minutes, and even press gently with a paper towel.
-
Fruit Variations: This recipe is very versatile. Feel free to add or substitute with:
-
1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
-
1 can (11 oz) mandarin oranges, drained
-
½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch
-
-
Marshmallow Note: The mini marshmallows will soften significantly in the salad. If you prefer a bit more texture, you can add an extra ½ cup right before serving.
-
Make it a Ambrosia Salad: Add 1 cup of shredded sweetened coconut along with the other fruits.
-
Lighter Version: You can use Neufchâtel (low-fat) cream cheese and light whipped topping.
