Grandma added grapes and apple chunks also. Yum.
My Mama called this 5 cup salad. She used crushed pineapple, Mondrian oranges, cherries, 1 cup of sweetened coconut, and sour cream. I love this salad.
I can’t wait to make this to bring to church gathering 😊
@@doringnaputi8901 it is so good. She fixed it for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter.
Kathy...that's the way my mom made it as well.
@@lolamclaughlin6560 gosh, I miss her. This salad was such a treat.
Grapes
Fruit salad look good
Thanks
My Mom taught me to use Canned Mandarin Oranges, when they came on the market. She had used sliced oranges in the 40s & 50s.. We used small can crushed pineapple (drained). Yes, When Cool Whip came on the market, we added that as well.. Time savers were welcome in our home. Back in the 70s I "Dared" to take this to a work friends picnic. Several of the women got together & cornered me to ask, "Don't you understand 'salad'? Or don't you know how to rip up lettuce?" So the next Picnic I took Waldorf Salad. LOL That time the confrontation was, "Don't Ever bring Salad to another Picnic!" LOL ~ ~ Did you knoe you can freeze this to serve as the Salad at the beginning of the meal? Mom did that on major holidays.. Us kids were thrilled to have "Ice Cream" at the beginning of the meal. Mom was very sad at her heathen family.. Poor dear..
My mother in law taught me how to make her fruit 🥗 salad pineapple, fruit cocktail, cherries, oranges, coconut, sour cream, cool whip, walnuts and mini marshmallows! Delicious!!!
I'm planning on making this for my folks for our Christmas family gathering. My mom made a variant of this where she added small nuts and raisins. She was well known for making thins and my folks devoured that stuff. She passed away about 12 years ago, and we would remember her making this for our gatherings. I want to bring this tradition back to my fam so we can all have it again while remembering her!
Grew up in Houston, Texas when Weingartens was a big grocery chain. Their deli had something similar. I could tell there was whipped cream but not sure about either mayonnaise or sour cream.
They said both, so here is my version I’ve adapted thru the years.
If you can’t make night before, CHILL canned fruits. (Pineapple, peaches, mandarin oranges and red and green cherries, depending on season. Christmas, I use both. This became holiday favorite so I made huge batches, usually 2-3 cans each fruit. It takes 1/3 mayonnaise, 1/3 sour cream and 2/3 whipped cream. Ratio: 1 part sour cream, 1 part mayonnaise, 2 parts whipped cream. Get unopened whipping cream carton super cold in freezer 15 minutes along with beaters before whipping.
FIRST THING: Whip cream and add package of colored, flavored marshmallows. 30 minutes they are expanded and fluffy.
NEXT, open and drain fruits. Cut cherries in half.
FOLD in mayonnaise and sour cream into whipped cream and marshmallows.
LAST add 2/3 cup chopped pecans and bag of shredded coconut.
Chill until ready to serve. I have also served this frozen in cupcake tins. Had at baby shower once and got idea.
Enjoy.

Ambrosia salad is great anytime of year and any occasion 😊 Yum!
When I was a kid mom used to make this. Delicious! Thanks for the memory of my mom’s warm kitchen. 🙏🏻
You're welcome.
This recipe brings back sweet memories of my mother and grandmother making this.
My great grandmother used to make this amazing salad. She did everything you have done but did put the coconut & pecans in as well!! Super yum!!
yes, my aunt makes the best with pistachios!!!
Pecans i`~Luv That 1.
How much pecans do you add? Thanks!!❤️🙏🏻
My great-grandmother called this Pineapple Fluff.
I omit the coconut and marshmallows, but add chopped pecans and sliced bananas.
First time I ate this loved it,But when I made it forgot marshmallows,it was really different,that’s when I notice no marshmallows,taste is really different,probably less sugar,marshmallows also melt and have different taste to salad.
My mom's fruit salad was out of this world. I'm still trying to see just exactly what I'm missing from how she did hers. Wish she was here to tell me. Rest in peace momma 😘 great video by the way your fruit salad looks sooo delicious 🤤
🙏🫶🩷🤍🩷👐
Her ❤ love
That's is actually how my step mom made her fruit salad when I was 13 and you just bring me back my memories on Thanksgiving and Christmas. 🎄 🙃
Happy holidays!
I agree this recipe just brought back some very happy holiday recipes my Mom, my Gram and my Aunt all made this and they are now gone so it was lovely to be reminded of them and the holiday times past. Thank you so much Catherine.
This recipe brings back some happy memories of holiday gatherings with my extended family. No matter what you put in the salad, it is always delicious and you never want to stop eating it. Good job, Catherine.

So dlish...Haven't made since my grandparents died. We put marshmallows and Coconut as well as banana and a few pecans. Thank you...will make for new years.
That's what we call "fluff" salad! Always a big hit at the assisted living facility! Wish I could make some!
I make this for every holiday: pineapple chunks, mandarin oranges, cherries, mini marshmallows, sour cream, sweetened shredded coconut nut. Everyone loves it. I have added chopped pecans too.
I am making this for Christmas Family gathering.
Mom used real orange segments .. (We grew up in south Florida), sliced bananas, some coconut and chopped pecans . So simple and so Yummie! She also squeezed some oranges for some liquid. So healthy and had it every December all month long. That’s when oranges were cheapest and fresh!
Ps.. We pronounced this
Am-bro-zha 😉 💖Merry Christmas ❤ 🌲
After reading the comments, I have gotten some really good ideas to add to the salad. Never thought of yogurt either or toasting the pecans. Takes it up a notch, I bet. You are the best! Thanks for this nostalgic recipe, Catherine.
Would you toast pecans with butter or?
I used the mix fruit can ,,,can peaches pineapple raisins coconut flakes and crème cheese and cool whip Delicious
I'm making this today, fruit cocktail, and crushed walnuts ❤
My grandmother used to make the best Ambrosia Salad I've ever had. She used the pineapple, mandarin oranges, cherries (cut in half), shredded coconut, marshmallows, sour cream, Cool Whip, and some homemade purple grape wine. Oh my gosh, when that wine penetrated the marshmallows and sweetened coconut, it went all the way through the other ingredients too. She would let us kids have a little taste and we thought we were in heaven. Unfortunately no one ever wrote down the recipe so we just have to guess at the proportions now, but I don't think anyone has ever gotten it to taste like grandma's Ambrosia Salad.
Gloria Wojo, Grandmothers make the Best Recipe Memories!
Thats how my Granny did it!. maybr not the wine, lol
@@ravinhud4979 .
I Appreciate Catherine's Plates.💯
This is a Classic Beloved Recipe.
Bringing back Sweet Memories.
I make this, sometimes instead of
mini marshmallows.
I combine, in a separate bowl
8 oz. of cream cheese
plus a small jar of marshmallow cream.
Add to fruit before adding the Cool Whip.
*Never seen this kind of salad anywhere. Maybe I should give it a try* 😍
I mix in a box of cheesecake instant pudding. It makes a huge difference
-- Thank U ... ' Catherine's Plates ' ...😊
Mom use to make this type of dessert for the Holidays
Fantastic!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I learned this in home economics in the earlie 70s. Make it every year since for holidays.
My favorite holiday “salad”!!!
So thanks catherine a thomas good show
My mom used to make this but I remember grapes 🍇 and coconut 🥥
Yours is definitely easier and I love the addition of yogurt 😋
I bet grapes 🍇 are delicious in it, or even blueberries! Your Mom was brilliant! Thanks so much for giving me the idea.
That's my way, too. Love the grapes 🍇
I have seen it made with sour cream, powdered sugar, and pecans also. Looks so good!
Oh yes...made this a lot! I have also made a dump cake version of this. You mix the fruit together, place it all in an appropriate sized pan and cover it with a box of dry cake mix (I like a butter yellow flavor) and cut up one stick of butter into thin pats and cover the cake mix. Bake at 350 for about 35 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. Serve with whip cream or ice cream...yum!!!
Oooo, yummy! That sounds delicious! Thanks for the tip.
@@cathyburns750 It's real good with chopped pears and peaches too!
Do you drain fruits?
Good ideal 😊 thanks
@@rosiemartinez9993 Yes but if I use a fruit pie filling I don't.
My grandmother and grandfather used to eat this all the time when I was a kid, I still like it, great video 👍🙏❤️😎bye
Once 8 had a co worker make it with pistachio jello. So it was green. Snd really yummy
Every ambrosia salad I've seen is pink, very interesting. Sometimes I just mix Cool whip and strawberry Greek yogurt for a delicious treat.
My mother makes this every holiday, it is one of the dishes she remembers from my grandmother. So delicious, I'm hungry now but am cooking already so it smells delicious. I remember oranges and pineapples and grapes I think. Merry Christmas.
I make a toasted-caramelized ambrosia salad. I simmer a can of crushed pineapple with the juice, orange marmalade, sour cherry preserves in a saucepan until the liquid evaporates, then add a bit of sweet cream butter when the mixture thickens, as well as a bit of port or sherry. Let cool, then add mandarin oranges and staled mini marshmallows after I incorporate the sour cream and then I fold in whipped heavy cream. Chill overnight. Serve it in individual English trifle dishes, topped with pecans and coconut chips that have been toasted in butter and lightly salted with pink Himalayan Sea salt.
Nix on the 'fruit cocktail"! I'd use sour cream added to the whipping cream with the powdered sugar, & vanilla!
My grandmother. Made itnin our family. I would pick out the cherries. Pineapple and peaches because she used shredded coconut.
Now I realize I took away the full delight of tasting the complete blend.
She made her own pudding.
I went to Greece and they use homemade yogurt with everything.
My mother past couple years ago from dementia and I wish i would have wrote down a lot of her recipes. She made the best ambrosia. She toasted the coconut and used heavy whipping cream
This brings back the holiday nostalgia. We have a Filipino
variation, made with condensed milk.Oooh it's good
Looks very delicious never seen it made like that
I really do love how you explain everything and you don't rush through the ingredients like some people do. I will be making this for Thanksgiving side dish.
That cocktail would be excellent with peligrino or Perrier sparkling water added added to it
Mom always made this fruit salad. I almost forgot about it since mom passed away in 2014. She always added one cup of chopped pecans and shredded coconut to hers and it was especially good the day after she let in stay refrigerated several hours. Thanks for reminding me about this delicious salad!!!
Fond memories and a delicious fruit salad! 👍😋🍊🍒🍍
Pineapple cherries.sliced banana 1 .purple grapes oranges and light crushed walnuts... yummy
Another recipe win! 🍒🍊🍍 I love your recipes. Thanks again!
You are so welcome!
I really like your version of this Ambrosia salad because I MUST try it with the Yogurt for sure!!
It looks so delicious and great for a light holiday dessert 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I love Ambrosia
I also add bananas toasted pecans and toast my coconut as well. I also chop up the maraschino cherries in halves and spread them around since everybody in my family seems to love them. I also prefer sour cream made with whipping cream and lemon or lime juice and a touch of honey if needed although I have resorted to Cool Whip. I also leave out the marshmallows.
This sounds like my mom's recipe she never used marshmallows or cool whip. Home made whipping cream toasted coconut banana's and fruit cocktail. Delicious!
This is EXACTLY how my mom would make it when I was a kid. I miss 😢those days.
I like it a i put in pineapple.mandarin oranges.marshinocherries.drain fruit.add sour cream.mix in bowl a refrigerate can use fruit cocktail..2t..top w cool whip a top w crushed pecans.
In NZ The most popular is ...mixed berries yogurt whipped(real creaml) colored marshmellos and maybe mixed berries....chill and all set to eat
Looks refreshing and that juice cocktail looks delicious
Coconut is a must and walnuts thank you very much cocktail sounds good too
I make this for every holiday. I use pineapple, mandarin oranges, 2 cans tropical fruit ( cut up chunks) and two cans cherry fruit cocktail. Drained thoroughly. 1/2 cup toasted pecans and one cup mini colored marshmallows. Two containers of real cream cool whip and two boxes of pistachio instant pudding. Mix thoroughly and smooth the top. Arrange cherry and pecan half’s on top. Let it set for a couple hours at least. I make it the night before so it’s already done. People eat it for dinner, a snack, or dessert if they don’t like pie. This fills about 3/4’s of a Tupperware salad bowl.
I like the addition of pistachio pudding. Thanks
Your recipe is more like Watergate Salad, which we always called Grammy’s Pineapple Salad. My grandmother made it for her card club. We have recently just started making it again for family gatherings and has brought back so many memories. The ambrosia is what we called 5 Cup Salad as there is one cup of each ingredient, cherries weren’t in the original recipe. I use pineapple tidbits, mandarin oranges, coconut, plain mini marshmallows and sour cream. I make this every holiday for my niece’s husband. Either one gets eaten up!
Yes this version with the pistachio pudding is the holiday ambrosia I remember really a comfort food I had as a child ,yummy 😋
We have this salad on holidays. My step dads last name is Green. So we call this the GreenStuff. Its so good.
@@joannekalish1020 it's amazing even toasted or roasted pistachios makes it a pretty green color too my aunt makes it this way fond fond memories and delicious!!!
Old time
For
Christmas
Cheers sweet dreams god love you Godloveyou
Thank you for this recipe. I made my 1st Ambrosia salad at 2023 Thanksgiving and Christmas
You're welcome.
Yammy & delicious
I love it
Love this salad with the coconut. My sister makes it all the time
My great grandma used to make this for Sunday dinner pretty regularly. She added coconut to hers and pecans. Sweet, prescious memories 🥰
I love ambrosia salad. Never made it but I will make some for the holidays.
It’s great you love your salad. My Florida old time recipe calls for fresh oranges and grapefruits sliced thin and layered to look like jewels, with a sprinkle of coconut and pecans, put in the fridge so everything is wonderfully cold.
If you have a salad spinner, empty your fruit in the spinner and give it a whirl. Drains it completely and keeps your cool whip from getting runny. Happy Thanksgiving y'all!
Toasted pecans and coconut for sure!! Delicious!!! 😍☺️
Been making this for over 50 years but we love the coconut & add diced pears & peaches as well!
Thank you ❤️
I would scoop husbands serving out and put in separate bowl. Coconut is what makes it 😮 it gives a slight Pina colada vibe.
Always have ambrosia for the holidays. No coconut I put large can pineapple and mandarin oranges and fruit cocktail and a can of diced peaches mix well with a full bag of mini marshmallows and sour cream. Delicious. Thank you for sharing Catherine have a blessed day stay safe and healthy
🙏❤🙏❤🙏
As a kid I love ambrosia salad but not the coconut in it so this time it's gonna be the marshmallows!!❤
I love this salad. It makes me think of Christmas dinners at church. Your version is my favorite. I have made it with and without coconut.
Yep!! Tried and True. Pro-Tip: mix your whipped topping and sour cream together first. Also Tito's for that extra juice! 😁
sour crean, whip cream, coconut , green grapes, diced apples, little oranges, pineapple, strawberry, peach, pears, peacans, couple of cherries on top with cherry syrup.
I love salads like this, and yours looks extra delicious! Thank you!🙂👍
Had this salad once
Being tropical, I like fresh sweetened shredded coconut in my Ambrosia as well. It's very delicious!
10/10
I really enjoy pineapple and I enjoy the Ambrosia salad too

Hello Catherine I've never made this salad b4 but I'm going to make your version it looks heavenly!!
Hi from Australia - I make this with pineapple, mandarin, marshmallows, sour cream and coconut. Yummo. Using the sour cream, you need to make it the day before, to let it all combine well.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS WITH US MY DEAR FRIEND. HAVE A NICE AND SAFE DAY.
My husband made mine love lot ciconut marshmallos andvwalnuts my motherbin law used maje that love that get real happy
I add red grapes sliced in half and diced peaches also to the same fruit you use then
. I make pistachio pudding with one cup of milk and after it sets I fold it into the cool whip, add mini marshmallows to the bowl and mix it all together. I always make a double batch and it doesnt last very long. You could add some sparkling water or 7up to your juice mix and it gives it a little extra without added sugar. Thanks for sharing your recipes Catherine. 🙂❤️
Shirley Laboy, I like the sound of adding the pistachio pudding. Merry Christmas!
Fruit, sour cream, marshmallows and coconut. Yum!
I use crushed pinapple m oranges cherries mini marshmellows and shreded coconut and coolwhip
Pineapple grapefruit Fruit cocktail Vanilla nutmeg jamaican jamaican rum sweet condensed milk Sour cream and eggs

This delicious Ambrosia is a family tradition, but no yogurt. Everyone loves it 🍍
I love this ambrosia. i use to make this a lot when my kids were younger. Catherine, I'd like to wish you and your family a very happy Thanksgiving!
I put pineapple ,Orange , cherry, puff marshmallows and vanilla pudding in my fruit salad
