Best Texas Pecan Ambrosia Salad With Margarita Dressing Recipes
HEAVENLY AMBROSIA SALAD
Ambrosia Salad is very yummy, but I hate canned fruit and they way the dessert turns if you leave it in the fridge more than a day. I don't put fruit into mine, I serve it with sliced bananas on-top instead. I don't mix the banana slices into the pudding mixture because they will go brown and discolor the dessert, wait until serving. This is an easy recipe you can easily make ahead. The coconut, nuts, and marshmallows can all be adjusted to your liking, adding more or less where desired.
