This was absolutely delicious! I added some sliced sweet red grapes also, it was a good addition. This salad was marvelous! I definitely will make this again! YUM!

This doesn't have enough flavor for me. I used less than 8 oz. of whipped topping, which was plenty. I used the colored marshmellows, but they have an artificial fruity taste that I didn't care for. Next time I make ambrosia, I will use the white marshmellows. Also, a friend of mine gave me an ambrosia recipe years ago which called for a box of instant pistachio pudding, and I remember it was delicious. This doesn't seem to compare.

I find myself making this great side dish around the holidays. But this can be a great refreshing summer treat as well!!

This was okay. I don't think I like the marshmallows all that much. I didn't use coconut because I'm allergic. I also left out the pecan because my mom doesn't have teeth. I added extra cherries. My mom used to make a better version that was just fruit cocktail and whipped cream.

Delicious and a hit at the get-together! Easy to make too. I used all the ingredients but only used 8 oz of whip cream. Also, I cut the cherries in half. Recipe doesn't say to drain the juice from the can of oranges but I did anyway. I only refrigerated for about 2 hours.

I tasted this salad when i went to visit my sister in Conneticutt and loved it. So i made it again and everyone loved it. I did use only 8oz of whipped topping when the consistency was perfect. And i put the bananas on the side for who ever want it some. But still taste great with it. I totally recommend this recepi.

This was delicious. A long time ago at an office holiday party, someone brought this in and I've been looking for this. I had to do a search on the Internet with the ingredients I remembered because I didn't know what it was called. I agree with the others though--I think 16 oz is too much whipped topping. I was about to fold it all in when I realized as I was putting it in that I already had so much (I had about 2/3 in--I think 8 oz would be perfect). The bananas are a very nice touch--they go well with the cream.
