Ambrosia was a must-have
food of the Greek gods,
according to ancient
mythology. And today, it’s
a popular fruit salad easy
to make for any get-together.
Our spin on the classic, dubbed Fruit Fluff, has
a mixture of fresh or canned
fruits, nuts, and cherries
swirled in a base of
mayonnaise and cream.
In a hurry? Canned pineapple,
cherries, and mandarin oranges
are easy substitutes for fresh fruit.

Salad Safety
Keep salad in the refrigerator (below
40°F) until the very last moment.
The longer a salad sits out at room
temperature, the more time bacteria
has to grow. And make sure to
never leave anything out longer than
2 hours (or 1 hour if the temperature
is over 90°F). If serving the salad
outside, place your salad on top of
another bowl filled with ice to help
keep it chilled.
Instructions
Beat cream with a mixer to soft
peaks. Add mayonnaise, sugar,
zest, and vanilla; beat to stiff peaks.
Toss pineapple, oranges, cherries,
marshmallows, coconut, and
pistachios with whipped cream
dressing until coated.
Cover fruit salad and refrigerate
two hours or until ready to serve.
Store fruit salad in an airtight
container for up to 48 hours.
