Hi, I'm Caren....Welcome to my channel. Our kids are all grown and gone and my husband and I spend most of our time these days trying to earn the approval and affections of our feral rescue cats, Richard and Baby Girl and Tom and Dickey. You know what they say, "Dogs have masters and cats have slaves." Truer words have never been spoken!
Thanks for watching ~ Caren

So this happened on Thanksgiving..our news anchor mentioned not to eat too much ambrosia salad and I say to my husband ugh.. who eats that mess and my husband says I actually like Ambrosia Salad..so here I am.. and thanks for the recipe ..gotta keep my man happy!
So funny...you are such a good wife!! Thanks for watching and commenting! Caren
Don't forget to add the fruit cocktails and marshmallows 😋 she forgot to add.
It's not an ambrosia salad without those two ingredients.
@@tommiebrooks8573 she did put marshmallows
YUMMY DELICIOUS! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING YOUR FABULOUS RECIPE UNDERNEATH SO WE CAN HAVE IT FOR LATER THANK YOU
Thanks, Cindy! I hope you enjoy!! Caren
I just finished making this, and it really is sooo good!!! You can't tell there's sour cream in it!
I was surprised by that also....I love it. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
My Mother loves loves loves this salad her birthday is Tuesday 72 years young! She used to always buy this or a coworker would make it for her and she hates sour cream so I’m happy you said you don’t even taste it I didn’t even know it had sour cream minute thanks for the recipe I will be making this tomorrow
My big brother is a widower and he talks about how his wife used to make ambrosia for him… This sounds like the perfect recipe to make for him, just to make him smile. Thanks for posting!
what a loving and sweet thing to do for him...thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Did you ever make it for him?
@@jujubee7351 no, not yet… Ever since his wife passed away, we make so many other wonderful desserts. I need to put this one on our list. he has a new love now, but I haven’t talk to her about it yet… it might be a nice surprise. Thank you so much.
This salad is so much better if you leave it over night in the fridge before eating.
You are so right about that. Thanks for watching and commenting!! Caren
I remember that my grandmother had this recipe in her kitchen, and I was curious so I looked it up. Thank you for sharing :)

@@ccjohnson6798 This is a Kiwi pudding
I made this for thanksgiving and brought to my in laws. It was a big hit. I’m making it again Saturday for the hubby’s birthday.
That's so good to hear. I hope y'all have a wonderful birthday weekend and thanks so much for watching and commenting!!
Hi Caren. I have been searching all morning for different ambrosia salad recipes. And yours was the best! Not only did you give the recipe but the tutorial provided a lot of information.
Thank you so much! And thank your stepson for me as well for asking you to make this great dish. This will be a great hit this Thanksgiving. Stay blessed.
Awe thanks so much for the compliment and thanks for watching and commenting!! Caren
Your recipe looks really good. Some of the other videos I've seen leave out some things. I need it all. 😁
LOL....that reminded me of my mother.....she had to have ALL the things....sometimes to the excess. I have a queso recipe (video on my recipe playlist), that she would always doctor up and I would tell her ...."NO NO NO.....less is more". I love my queso exactly as the recipe goes and she would drive me crazy with it...haha. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!! Caren
I love this ,making for my family this week..great video!😊 Thank you!
its really good.
I used to nanny for a lady who became pregnant with her 2nd child....I found an online thread about what food to bring mom's postpartum and I saw fresh fruit mentioned several times. Although this fruit isn't all fresh it seemed like a good idea. her family loved it! now I'm making it for a dear friend who is due in a couple months :)
This just made my day!! I love that💖. Thanks so much for watching and leaving your comment letting me know!!
Thank you so much for making this! You helped me this Thanksgiving! 🥰 keep making vids like this

Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Merry Christmas!!
I had this for the first time this Thanksgiving and I gotta say it was pretty good. Ours was made with Sugar Free Canned Fruit - Pineapple & Mandarin Oranges; Greek Yogurt, Shredded Coconut & Mini Marshmallows; I put chopped walnuts in the doggy bag portion I served for me. (S/F Fruit was used cause my son is a diabetic). Keeper dish!
I love when you can adapt a recipe like that.....thanks so much for watching and subscribing! Caren
i make it the same way! no nuts tho. i leave them on the side for whoever wants it
That's a wonderful idea.....especially for picky eaters...like my kids. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
@@ccjohnson6798 stay safe out there 😇😇😇
Love this! I use the mixed fruit cocktails 🥰
I need to try it with the fruit cocktail...sounds good!!

Thanks, what a sweet comment. Merry Christmas to you also!!
Great video fun to watch as I get ready to make this thank you!
Looks great!
This is it! I wanted to make this salad for my brother but every recipe used everything but the Cool Whip and I think that is a must when making ambrosia salad. So thank you so much for this awesome recipe! It took me a while finding you.
I hope your brother enjoys.....thanks so much for watching and commenting!!
I love your salad saludes muchas gracias❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My grandma has this recipe but it doesn't include sour cream but instead pistachio pudding for the heaviness
That sounds like something I would like, I'll have to try that. Thanks for watching and commenting! Caren
I make ambrosia salad without the Cool Whip. It’s delicious!
Love this recipe. Thanks for sharing

@@ccjohnson6798 Merry Christmas to you and your family
Mine too
This is a great recipe but I would suggest emphasizing the order that the ingredients are placed in the bowl. After mixing the cool whip and sour cream until it's smooth, put the nuts and first because they're the densest ingredient, THEN fold in the coconut, followed by the marshmallows. Once that's nicely mixed fold in the grapes. Finally add the canned fruits as they are super soft and likely to get mushy. Obviously this salad is going to mix and bleed regardless but I think the less sloppy it is the better. I personally like it a lil more chunky 😊
My aunt use apples not the grapes and it is soooooo good☺️
Yum....I use apples in my Waldorf Salad and I love that too. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Ambrosia salad: OH YEAH!!!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting!! Caren
Love this salad. I make a couple variations to it. I put in instant pistachio pudding, a block of cream cheese, and I use the colorful mini marshmallows. We call it "Grinch Pudding".
That sounds incredible.....I will have to try it your way. Thanks for watching. Merry Christmas!!
great presentation i will make this thanks!!
Thanks for watching and commenting!!
My son had surgery on his shoulder and this is one of his request for me to make your ambrose salad it's so good.

Looks great

Love this salad..one ill keep..ty
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Merry Christmas!! Caren
Merry Christmas Caren...
I want to make this but without the sour cream.
I am sure it would taste fine without it. If you like yogurt, maybe add a little of that or just more whipped cream. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!! Caren
plain greek yogurt works just as good. I've used that before
I know my Mother hates sour cream. One lady made it with lemon yogurt hmm
Thank you 🙏🏾 Happy Thanksgiving
You also....thanks so much for watching and commenting!!
Looks awesome!
Thanks for watching and commenting!!... Caren
You dont really have to use two different kinds of grapes lol. You can sub tangerines for mandarin oranges. Can also add green melon.
looks good, i think i would have left out the grapes. now lets make a waldorf salad.
Sounds good either way to me ;) Thanks for watching and commenting!! Caren
My laptop had no sound so I just went along with you. This was my very 1st attempt at making this salad. So, I do not know if you rinsed all the fruits that were in any type of syrup; I did to get rid of unnecessary sugars. I also used unsweetened coconut. I added about 1/2 cup extra grapes, mini marshmallows, walnuts vs. pecans (I had no pecans), and I used "Lite" sour cream. I loved it, and so did my rehab team at work. Thank you for the inspiration.
I didn't rinse the canned fruits. I just let them drain pretty well to keep them from being too wet when I mixed them together. Your version sounds pretty great. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!!
Can you make it without the sour cream? Great recipe thank you so much it's just like grandma 🥥🍍🍓
I'm sure you can. I haven't tried it myself, but I would just add more cool whip or even yogurt. Thanks so much for watching!!
I'm so hungry! I would just eat the whipped topping to begin with and use the fruit as a dip. Do you think we could put it all in a Piping Bag and just squirt it in our mouths like a can of whipped cream?
You are correct and that sounds like heaven right now!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
i don't like nuts in mine so i leave them out
Did you just put the cool whip straight from the jar or did you whip it before you put it in?
The cool whip is straight from the container....it came frozen from store but I set in refrigerator overnight to thaw. It is already in whipped topping form in the container.
That looks delicious; thanks , but why do you add sour cream ?
I'm not sure why there is sour cream, but I just follow the recipe that I have. I do like that it helps it not be too sweet and it just coats everything nicely. Thanks for watching and commenting!! Caren
to add a bit of tartness so its no so sweet to you cant eat it...you can also add vanilla yogurt or plain instead of sour cream...all ways are good!
What makes it Southern ?
What is the marshmallows for? Can something else be used or can they be left out?
Yes u can leave them out and it will still be good.
Real whipped cream is better than cool whip.
I think this what they made in school
Thanks for watching and commenting! Caren
Huh never seen this way. Usually I just use coolwhip and very cheery mixed fruit. It was a tip my uncle got from a store years ago cause my mom liked it alot. Sometimes add bannana and rice.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Happy New Year!! Caren
Please stop saying Y'all. So fake!!
Do not waste so much time getting every last drop!
Why don’t you use the term “SON”?…. My mom always referred to us as her Stepkids.. it always sounded and felt degrading … ( notice I said Mom)… food for thought🌸🌼🌺
Sour cream smells so nasty and taste horrible ewwww can I substitute the dour cream for something else?
I think it would be just fine if you left the sour cream out. But if you want it creamier, you could substitute it with plain greek yogurt. Thanks for watching and commenting! Caren
Too fattening for me.
