YMMV as always. gag Still kinda disgusting sounding with the inclusion of canned fruit cocktail and "whipped topping" ---whatever chemical that may be? Ambrosia= coconut and orange segments. None of that other stuff. |

Top with maraschino cherries when serving. gag Sugar overload! Forget the marshmallows and it'd sound better. YMMV as always. Well, my mileage says to forget all the rest of the ingredients, also. I don't mind the coconut and pecans, but that doesn't exactly constitute a fruit salad. It's a pity. There have been several good recipes posted in the last few days, and there is no lack of fresh fruit at my local stores. Mine neither. My recipe for fruit salad? Okay, here goes. Equal parts of the following: Sweet red or green grapes Sliced ripe peeled nectarine cut into approx 1" portions Blackberries or Raspberries Fresh Tangerine slices Fresh or canned pineapple chunks Thinly sliced Kiwi fruit (optional) Cubed Mango Peeled and cubed Gala apple Ripe cantaloupe melon balls Singed, peeled and cubed "Tuna" (aka, ripe cactus apples, they HAVE to be red!) (optional) Alternate to the cactus fruit is bananas sliced in 1/4" slices. For dressing, sweetened sour cream with sweetener of your choice. I use Splenda, but sugar or honey works fine. Gentle squeeze of fresh lemon juice to keep fruit from browning... -- Peace!

I dare you to try sweetened sour cream dear. :-) You may get a nice surprise... Sour cream is not "sour" tasting. It's just cultured cream. -- Peace!
