Easy Ambrosia Fruit Salad
When I told my kids we would be having salad for dessert after our dinner last night their reaction wasn’t that of pure joy. More like, salad really mom? When the salad is filled with fruit and marshmallows then coated in creamy cool whip, well that’s a salad any kid would agree to eat! This Easy Ambrosia Fruit Salad is a must try and a winner with the entire family.

thanks so much!!

It could get a little watery if sitting for to long. We always eat leftovers of it a day or two later and just drain any water. But you could mix the fruit and in the morning drain it well then add the rest. Hope you enjoy the recipe! =)
