I followed the recipe with the addition of a can of fruit cocktail since I wanted more fruit. It turned out great. It's easy to make and a great new family favorite!

This was the BEST ambrosia salad I've had in a looong time. There's only 4 people in my household and it was GONE in 2 days! We serve it as a treat or dessert and it's great to bring to parties (I've taken to bringing a copy of the recipe when I bring it anywhere!).

always get great raves on this wonderful refreshing salad! i use an 8 oz. tub of cool whip, i use 1/4 cup milk and a 1/4 cup sour cream instead of a 1/2 a cup of milk, add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts and a package of pistachio pudding and a nice handfull of green grapes too! drain the fruit very good too or it will be mushy.

A great recipe for kids of all ages to help make. My sons (ages 3 and 2yrs)helped me mix it for a family Luau and they were so proud of their dessert! Watching them explain how they made it to all those enjoying it was a treat just as delicious.

I was dissapointed in this recipe, too much coconut. I took it to Easter dinner and brought over half home. Usually people ask me for recipes, no one said a word about this one.

We liked this just ok, it could be my fault as I did not add the milk and I used pineapple chunks instead of crushed because I thought it would be too juicy, I was wrong it turned out dry. My suggestion follow the recipe as is .. the flavor is delicious

This was a good base but like others I tweaked it a little. I added some fruit cocktail, a banana(put a little lemon juice on it and it won't turn brown), an apple and instead of milk I used sour cream...yummy. also added some walnuts.

This is always a hit at family gatherings. I like to add a can of fruit cocktail to this recipe to give it even more pizazz. I include the juice and add a handful more marshmallows so it isn't too juicy. It's a regular recipe used around here.

This was my first attempt at making a fruit salad and it turned out great. I following some suggestions. I used only 20oz of cool whip and used a stick of cream cheese. I used less coconut and added a can of fruit cocktail and a couple of apples for texture.

In my opinion: * less coconut * 20 oz can crushed pineapple * 1 cup chopped walnuts ...will make it better otherwise, good but i like the watergate salad better (the pistachio mix version)

I was a little leary of this being good when I was mixing it. But after I tried it I couldn't believe how great it tasted! I used a bit more mandarin oranges and pineapple.
