Excellent flavor and combination of ingredients! I let my teenage daughter make it and she had a blast.

Used walnuts instead of pecans, used 1/2 whipped topping and 1/2 sour cream, and added a can of fruit cocktail....excellent!! Don't see ambrosia salad with bananas in it....this is yummy!

I made this salad yesterday and its fabulous! I did what another reviewer said about coating the bananas first in the juice from the pineapple. I did change a couple things. I used pineapple tidbits and grapes. I also didn't have mini marshmellows so I cut them into small pieces. Additionally, I used low fat store brand cool whip and from reviewers suggestion, I bought the 8oz container and didn't even use all of it.

Great recipe though I made some changes. I drained the mandarin oranges (wasn't specified in recipe), used pineapple tidbits since I didn't have the crushed on hand, and used only 8 ounces (small container) of whipped topping. This was really great and received many complements. I think 16 ounces of whipped topping would have been too much.

Very easy recipe! Followed everything exactly as written. Reminded of my great-aunt's Ambrosia Salad from when I was growing up. This will be a staple at large dinners for our family.

Yummy! I used chunked pineapple, omitted the bananas and pecans added halved grapes and reduced the whipped topping to 8oz. I also added some of the fruit juice. The only thing I might do differently next time is reduce the amount of coconut so the texture isn't so overwhelming.

There's two great things about ambrosia salad. One, you can make it out of what you have on hand (usually most people have the ingredients in their kitchen at any given time) and two, it's a reminder for most people of holiday's past. I used one large banana (tossed with a little lemon juice to keep the banana pieces from browning), added a little sour cream and omitted the coconut. I also used multi-colored marshmallows. This will go well with my turkey dinner tonight. So good and so easy.

This is a delicious fruit salad, but only after I made some changes. I used a 20 oz can of pineapple chunks, a 15 oz can of mandarin oranges, 1 banana helved lengthwise then sliced, 1 1/2 cups sliced strawberries (I'm not a fan of maraschno cherries) and 1 cup flaked coconut. For the dressing, I used an electric mixer to whip together 2 cups low fat sour cream, 1/3 cup Splenda and 1 tsp vanilla (instead of Cool Whip and narshmallows). I gently mised this all together and chilled the salad for about 3 hours before sering. It was delicious!! Next time, I will cut down on the sour cream to 1 1/2 cups or less. I omitted the nuts this time for the sake of a guest who has a tree nut allergy. But, I'll add them if serving this to my family. Now I have a recipe for a very good fruit salad!

Great Dessert! I altered it a little for my kids' taste. Took out the coconut and used chunk pineapple rather than crushed. I also added a bit of sour cream and used Sugar Free Cool Whip. Delicious, healthy after dinner dessert!

I THOUGHT THERE WAS TOO-O-O MUCH COCONUT IN THIS RECIPE. I PUT IN ONLY 1/2 CUP AND IT WAS MUCH BETTER. I ALSO CUT THE AMOUNT OF MARSHMALLOWS IN HALF. MUCH BETTER. YOU COULD TASTE THE FLAVOR OF THE FRUIT MUCH CLEARER.

This was a big hit at my niece's babyshower and in my daughter's class. I made a few changes that really went over well. I left out the bananas and used strawberry whipped topping and it was great!!!!

I used the juice from the pineapple and oranges to coat the bananas before I put them in with the rest of the mixture, so the bananas wouldn't turn brown. Left out the nuts (don't like them) and cherries and used low-fat cool whip. Everyone loved it and it stayed good for several days in the fridge. Thanks for the recipe!

Wonderful! I used a 15-oz. can of mandarin oranges instead of 11 oz., and a 20-oz. can of pineapple *chunks* instead of 8 oz. crushed (reserving liquid) - would make those changes again. I added 1/2 cup pineapple juice to the final salad. Note that 1 cup of cherries is equal to a 10-oz. bottle (be sure and drain it). I left out the whipped topping - just a personal preference. Thanks so much for the recipe!

the coconut and didn't miss it. Used extra pineapple. Also used about 12 oz of cool whip instead of 16oz. Some reviews recommended half, but I did not find this to be enough cool whip.

This was really yummy! If you add a small box of orange jello mix, it gives it a tint of orange color and a good flavor!
