I have to say, I am one of those children of the 80’s who grew up eating Ambrosia Salad at any given potluck. That, along with any variation of pasta salad, potato salad, or Jello salad, made the 80’s a very salad-friendly decade. I mean, right? Anyhow, I’m pulling a major throwback today. But I’m putting a modern spin on it! No more canned mandarin oranges or maraschino cherries…today we’re doing a FRESH Berry Ambrosia salad!
What IS Ambrosia Salad?
Well, Ambrosia Salad is variation of a fruit salad, typically with sweetened pineapple, mini marshmallows and coconut! Sometimes there will be oranges, bananas, grapes, or even pecans included. Generally it’s combined with whipped cream or a whipped topping as well. It’s for SURE delicious.

Then I whipped up some heavy cream and some cream cheese and folded the two together, then added in some flaked coconut. Finally I folded the fresh berries right into the ambrosia mixture!
How gorgeous are these berries?
And of course the most important ingredient in Ambrosia Salad is marshmallows. Can’t do it without them!
I mean, seriously. Just stick a spoon on in and enjoy this Berry Ambrosia salad like it’s 1984. Or get a little fancy with a sprig of mint. Whatever the occasion.
I know you will love this Ambrosia Salad recipe. It’s so easy and always a crowd pleaser!
