This recipe for Ambrosia Salad has a special place in our hearts. A sweet, old, very energetic man used to bring it to church dinners. He was the cutest thing ever and called his dish “Seven Cup Salad” that he literally made with a cup of seven different ingredients. I’m a rebel and modified it a bit. 
Call it whatever you wish, but this recipe is super easy and delicious for summer! It’s not health food, but sometimes you just have to splurge.
Southern Ambrosia Salad
- 20 oz can pineapple chunks, drained {I cut them up a bit}
- 15 oz can mandarin oranges, drained
- 10 oz jar, maraschino cherries, rinsed, drained, stems removed and halved
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 2 cups marshmallows
- 1 1/2 cups sour cream
Combine first six ingredients. Fold in sour cream until mixed well.
Chill.
Enjoy!
