My mom made this every Christmas,and it was always a hit. I recently took it to a potluck picnic (I mean a HUGE bowl of it) and the bowl was all but licked clean. Always a safe bet when you're not sure what to take. On a side note, when I make it for my family, I use Tofutti (non-dairy) sour cream and leave out the marshmallows.

I have been making this recipe since I was first married 20 years ago! It is awesome just the way it is written. It's best if you make it a day ahead though. Make sure to drain the friut very well so there is no runny stuff in the bottom of the bowl.

I really enjoyed this recipe. I added sliced marachino cherries to make it a little sweeter.

This an excellent side dish. It's good with colored marshmellows.

It wouldn't have been a holiday at Grandma's without her Ambrosia salad. Gram used cool whip and sour cream, left out the coconut, and added maraschino cherries....perfect! Thanks for the memory!

So easy and only a few ingredients! Tastes great, and a fast preparation makes it perfect if you need to bring a side dish to a potluck.

The first time I tried this recipe I didn't like the texture of it so I changed the coconut to desicated and only added about three quarters of a cup and it was absolutely delicious. YUMMY!

My mother-in-law gave me this recipe with all the same ingredients, using 1 cup of each so it was truly "5 cup salad." However, the variation I use to make it lower fat and less calories, is replace the sour cream with dannon low-fat peach yogurt. Hubby thinks it tastes better with the yogurt.

This very like my mom's "summer salad." Without fail, this dish is always gone at the end of a picnic. I omit the coconut per my mom's tradition, but other than that, this is a summer classic!

I made this for my daughter's Hawaiian luau & the girls thought it was okay. Actually, some loved it & others were grossed out (but hey, they are 10 years old). I enjoyed it - I know my mom used to make this when I was little. I don't know if I will have a craving for this again anytime soon - it is very sweet - but it is tasty.

My mother also made this salad every summer growing up. However, she used an 8oz package of cream cheese instead of the sour cream. Let the cheese soften and come to room temperature before trying to blend all ingredients. This is definetly an old time classic!

Perfect picnic salad. I served it as a side dish with a casserole and it was a nice, light sweet accompaniment. And it is soooo easy to throw together. This is one of those easy recipes that you make over and over.

Wonderful! I did add 1/2 cup of red marichino cherries only for color...the salad is plenty flavorful just as the recipe is written. Perfect combination, very yummy.

I like this better without the marshmellows and I add Pecans for a different texture.
