This memorable old-fashioned, now heirloom ambrosia salad has made an appearance at every family BBQ for longer than I care to remember! It is made with sour cream and not Cool Whip or yogurt like some ambrosia recipes I’ve seen. I love sour cream! I could eat a spoonful right from the container!
It has just the right combination of fruit and it’s so easy to put together in just a few minutes.
I have it memorized for all the times people have asked for the recipe!
This is a great fruit combination that everyone likes, but you can use 2 cups of whatever fruit you like.
This recipe yields about 3 cups.
Enjoy!
