try adding multi-colored

in place of the white mini marshmallows.
One thing we love here at
Turnips 2 Tangerines,
is a good, old fashioned
Fruit Salad.
This fruit salad is one of our favorites.
Ambrosia is considered a classic southern recipe,
usually served at Christmas time.
Originally made with only coconut, orange slices and sugar,
Ambrosia is now made with just about anything....
from bananas to maraschino cherries.
No matter how Ambrosia is made,
it's delicious....truly a
Greek Food of the Gods.
