With its silky sweet, whipped-cream-based “dressing”, plenty of soft mini marshmallows, and an abundance of juicy, colorful fruit, Ambrosia Salad may be a bit different than some of the other salads you’re used to seeing around potlucks and parties, like this Frog Eye Salad, but I promise you that it’s every bit as good… if not better! This classic salad has been a staple for decades (maybe your grandmother has made it for you?) and the version that I’m sharing today is made with a simple from-scratch dressing and takes only 10 minutes to assemble!
